Check out the link for me! thanks


I get mine here and they ship.....
I mix this 50/50 with Turface, add a little Osmocote and my trops do quite well. Hope this helps

I just buy a large bag of pine bark mulch (not pine nuggets) and sift it. Its cheap enough and what is too fine/course I use as landscape mulch.
The only lava rock I've been able to get is from Bonsai Monk. I only use this for tree in bonsai pots. For growing I use Brent's nursey mix.
