Hi Bob

If you can find a supplier, maybe Veggie Boy can help there, I can bring it out the weekend after next (Dec 15,16) because I'm headed to Yuleba to see family. That may help offset the transport costs. I taking a near empty trailer so several large bags wouldn't be an issue. Food for thought there (pun intended).

cheers

On their website, http://www.agriproducts.com.au/agri/default.asp Ridleys have a range of products to suit different species. What species are you growing ? That will determine what product you require.

I live in Narangba so I may be able to pick up direct or from a local supplier.

cheers

Handy - I wonder if the price is the same. Eventhough it is not close to me - it is good to know it is there because it becomes handy to pick up from there if travelling to the North Coast.

You're right LKB. I just spoke to Ridley and Hay You is their only retail outlet for Aqua Feed. That sux.

Bob, I can still arrange a pickup from Hay You and deliver to you in Roma/Yuleba on that weekend if you want. It's up to you, arrange the order with them and I'll collect it this weekend and deliver next. No problems at all.

cheers
