I know where to order it on line but at 5 bucks a pound plus shipping it seems kinda steep. If I were to look for a local source, where would I look ? Is it considered a fertilizer? Does it go by any other name?

Thanks

I may go with Miller's Microplex next time. it's about 2/3 the cost of Plantex. And I can get it locally.

Thanks Rex, just ordered 4 lbs.from litemanu. Should last me awhile.

You wouldn't happen to have an over abundance of Plantex CSM you're looking to unload would you?

Good news kids! I found a source on K2SO4. It looks like I can get it much cheaper than www.litemanu.com How does $1.50 a pound sound? Of course there would also be shipping charges to you on that. If anyone is interested then let me know. It is supposed to be the same grade as we have been using. I do have to get 50 lbs at a time so I will be looking to sell around 45 lbs.

Rexx, you can put me in to finish off an order. 2, 4, even 6lbs if it will help finish off a deal.

The stuff I'm using now smells like gasoline and leaves a flammable oily slick on the water surface. It burns a little if you hold a match too close. (just kidding) It does very faintly smell like a benzene based substance, or machine oil.

Thanks Rex, I'm not in danger of running out at present but am concerned that when the time comes I may not be able to find it. Do you think you'll be doing any more group deals in the future?
