I don't remember saying anything about what you have mentioned above. I did say "...bonsai can be grown in any thing that is properly sized, not too smooth and not poisonous." The roll of jagged sharp particles is to allow spaces between the particles for drainage, the jagged edges preform this function better than smooth ones.
