Dear John,

I thought I would throw in something that some people in this group may be 
interested in and it is flyash or qloxinty. This is the bi-product from such 
industry as iron smeltering and energy production from fossil fuels. I have 
been using this product in my part of the world with many plants in my 
collection for about three years and found it to be superiour to anything I 
have tried on some plants. The growth rates that I have on my collection of 
worsleya is second to none, that I have seen, since I started using a 50% 
mix. I am fortunate in that I can purchase it already graded to between 4 
and 10mm particles, anyone in my neighbourhood can drop in and see it for 
themselves.



Kind Regards and Best Wishes
