You know the saddest part of all this? There is literally about a dozen pallets of the stuff, unbagged, on the other side of the back wall of my office, and I'm not allowed to touch it.

I decided to give it a try because I had a large planted aquarium that I broke down when I moved into my new house a few years back. I didn't know what to do with the gravel, but I paid too much for it to just let it sit there, and no way was I going to throw it away. I filled my containers with it and still had about 50 lbs left, and I just sat on that until I decided to try it in my bonsai. I'll update with exact results every few months.
