ESP since the application rate for bentonite is is 0.5-2kg/sqm. Aiming for the 2kg range = 240kg Can anyone tell me when to get bactivate from? Fu Manchu's Guide to Laying Turf & More 78Jun 15, 2011 2:35 pm So... My figures for 180 sqm so far are Piggypost 30sqm/bag = 6bags @ $190bag (Datso) Zeolite 750g/sqm = 135kg @ $19.95/10kg Bentonite (sodium) 0.5-2kg/sqm = 360kg @ $15/25kg bag (or a bulk bag $187 ??kg) Bactivate 25kg bag (approx) $75 Does anyone know if these figures look right? Re: Fu Manchu's Guide to Laying Turf & More 79Jun 17, 2011 4:22 pm $20 for 15-20 kg or there abouts from zeolite from a pool shop The piggy post would be the Rolls Royce of soils in bulk. To get cost down you would use Premium Compost from EurekaCompost.com.au 1m3 $80 plus delivery. Benonite over 30m2 I'd just use 2 bags of the bentonite from a farm shop. 2x 20kg bags from memory. Check the bentonite link I posted somewhere too. Its on John Colwill's PlantsMan.com.au It will help Also on SustainableOutdoors.com.au $75 for the Bactivate??? Olsens from Mirco should cost about $30. One bag or even half a bag over that area. Re: Fu Manchu's Guide to Laying Turf & More 80Jun 17, 2011 7:58 pm Yeah the Bentonite figure is based on the second link from Plantman... as its covering 180sqm... the downside is that I can get 1000kg for $180 or 360kg in 25kg for $260.... anyone interested in going halves in a bag? The bactivate was from the bioasis manufacturer..... thought it reasonable considering..... he suggested half before and then about three months down the track apply other half and wash in with molasses Got 6 bulk backs of piggypost coming....... ordered today..... anyone feels like shifting 6cu m with me I'm about to put down some Merbau.
