Where to buy salt in bulk

Hi all.

Any idea where to buy salt in bulk for tanning. I'm in northern Wellington suburbs and don't fancy a drive to farmlands as they are miles away. Moore Wilson said they don't stock bulk salt so I'm at a loss of where to go other than farmlands.

Any help appreciated.

Regards
Ash

Farm stores are probably your best bet. All of them will have it or be able to get it. Farmlands, Farmsource/RD1, PGG wrightson etc. Just order plain AgSalt in a 25kg bag, a lot of other Ag Salts will be mineralised

There is a pgg Wrightsons in porirua other options are a Rd1 in featherston or a farmsource in greytown

Thanks everyone, just managed to order some from PGG Wrightsons in porirua.

Thanks again,

Alot of Asian supermarket places also do 20/25kg bags to.

you can also get from Ravensdown stores now. we spread quite a few fert mix's with salt in them now

Slightly off topic, what do farmers want salt in fert for?

Sodium as a trace element.

That must be what gives that nice taste to our beef,sheep and venison meet :-)

Otherwise swimming pool salt? Warehouse?

And here I sit in my office looking at a small mountain of it, over the road @ Dominion Salt :thumbsup:

I cringe to think what the salt does to that digger.

havent completely worked that one out myself....we ONLY get it in fodder beet mixes and only some years..... I seem to recall way back in the bad old days the Romans would "salt a field" to kill off all the vegetation and make land uninhabitable....
