Aeration for my soil - Organic Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I'm looking to add lava rock into my soil mix, but am unsure of what and where to get it. Can I use granule (5/16) lavarock for fireplaces/gas log sets or do I want something different?

Yep, scoria. It's super cheap at landscaping places. If some of the chunks are too big you can just smash 'em into smaller bits.

Thanks! That is what I thought, but was not totally sure it would work.

why not use dry stall (pumice)? At the feed store it will cost about $12 for a 40 lb bag.

Like Sam said, landscaping companies are where its at. Way cheaper and you can get it buy the yard if you wanted to.

Would it be ok to use clay pebbles instead of perlite?
