Anyone in MA or RI have a source for either, that can be purchased in bags of 20# and up. Thanks, Dave

Also, ACE hardware carries Pumice in thier garden section, although you may have to have them order it for you. Try Home Depot...Lowes. Good luck...

Apparently, Drystall isn't available in the northeast...the closest 40# bag is a damaged one somewhere in VA. My local box stores don't seem to carry much more then colored bark mulch and rocks...very frustrating. Tachigi, thanks, I will contact Colin. Wish me luck with my ongoing search. Dave
