Re: Greenleaf Farm Lab
Try Haines in VIC, we had the same thing with water testing kits. Still they would not give us the names of the chemcials.

Re: matchboxes
Yes the matchboxes, Home brand is cheaper but they brake far too easly. So we have gone for redheads. We had a part time helper, and she covered the boxes in contact, of course not the flint sides. ANd I must say the did last a lot longer, and they do make it harder to burn. Again it is up to the te...

Re: Questions for people who went to St Mary's conference
Try ringing Q-stores, and would you be so kind as to let us know. One solid item in the spills kit would be much better. I would also like to know the name of the snake like thingo, that contains the spill. Sorry about the snake like thingo,

Re: Disposing of Preserved Specimens
If you really do wish to get rid of them. Why not put a list on Chemtalk, and perhaps other people may like them. Instead of throwing them away.

Re: Blue Metal
Our local garden centre, has given us in the past, a small ice container, if i take a letter head, say it is for experiments. Can be helpful. Also 6 different types of soils, again small amounts. Good, beats buying it.
