Oil dry has been covered here and elsewhere many times. It is a cheap alternative for those who use smaller volumes of soil. The problem is that it isn't fired at as high a temperature as Turface, and will clump and break down. You need to "cut it' with something like volcanic and bark, haydite, pea gravel or pick your poison.

We use Akadama, Hyuga and Volcanic. It costs more. It works great- now, ask Dale Colchoy, in his environment and circumstance he doesn't like akadam- I value Dle's opinion- so if you live in areas with many freeze thaw cycles you should be careful.

If you think I am being elitest, think of this: I used to buy turface by the ton. No longer.
