You can usually order Fullers Earth through chemist shop, but it is very expensive. I've used dry powdered earth that I crushed up and put through a sieve. The only trick is to find the right colour, and be sure it's relatively pure with no lime or other contaminants present. And it is free!
Don't forget, Fullers earth occurs naturally in the earth's strata in England.
