Thanks again for that info. I use the turface for the opposite reason that I use the lava. The turface is there for drainage while the lava is there to retain moisture.

Two more things if you don't mind, What do you use to fertilize? I've read that they need a acidic fertilizer. It seems they are quite finicky but you make it out to be that they aren't. Lastley, I read that tey dislike hard water and that it is best to only water with rain water. Is this true? It also said that if you do use hard water that once every month, you should water with a small amount of diluted white vinegar. Is this true?

Sorry about the questions If you can't tell I've absolutely no experience with azaleas.
