Hi Allen,

#2. On a web page, Joe describes
his "Muck" as peat moss and powdered clay ... reminds me of hypertufa.
Where can i find this "powdered clay" stuff?


As for the "powdered clay," he means the powder residue of (or just crushed)
akadama (Japanese red clay). You can get akadama from a number of sources,
likely some who advertise on the IBC site. Mix with peat and water and
...voila.


With a little bit of snipping.

I have used the type of clay that is used for water lillys. Just let it
soak in water to become soft and mix with eg peat moss.
