Have you come across a bush-friendly contractor or product?
If you pick any contractor out of the yellow pages, be warned, you run a high risk that they will not understand the sensitivities of a bush block and can do irreparable damage. You could risk losing 100's of years worth of native growth. So to help, we have started to compile a list of contractors who have a reputation for being sensitive to the bush in our area, plus a list of products that help protect your bush block.
Please share your experiences with us, email so we can post more bush- friendly products and services up.

Dieback Treatment Fluid (Phosphite)
You can buy smaller containers of phosphite in most hardware stores but if you have a large property, it would pay you to buy in bulk. Also this larger size is using the higher strength and so it will go a long way. If you have a smaller property but have neighbours who also want to treat their bushland, then work together, buy your Phosphite in bulk and share the cost. We suggest you ring first and make sure they have the chemical in stock.
The Dieback Working Group website also provides a lot of information on treatment of dieback, including the following stockists of phosphite.
