Dear Friends,                                                                                                                                   10/2009   Announcement      Effective immediately, Diatomite USA is ceasing all retail and wholesale business through our website.     Why am I closing down? Unfortunately, our supplier has been unable to fill our container orders for several months and we have been out of our most popular sizes - #2 and #3 since late spring.  While we have attempted to find alternative sources, we have not been successful.  Therefore, after 7 years of being in the diatomite business, I have decided that now is this time to end this business endeavor and move on to other interests.     I want to thank all of my costumers for their business and support. I especially appreciate the many friends I have gained over these years.    My Canadian associate and friend, Mike Tedesco of www.diatomitecanada.com will be more than willing to help you out with diatomite, fossil shell flour, and Aussie-Gold Orchid mix.  He can also meet many of your other growing needs as well.  Please don’t hesitate to contact him; I’m sure that he will make every effort to fill your orders. His email is mike@diatomitecanada.com and his phone is 1-905-892-3743.   The website will remain up for the foreseeable future and link you to Diatomite Canada.  I can still be reached at joe@diatomiteusa.com.  My new phone/fax is now 716-601-7294.             Good Growing and Best Regards,   Joe DiDomenico
