Default Aquatic Plant Soil

Kevin,

That is interesting to know, but for me it is the price. LOWES sells it for
$6.93 for ten pounds. I saw some it today and it doesn't look much
different that they stuff I put down for soaking up the oil on my concrete
after I change oil in my vehicle except that is a pink color instead of a
greyish color.

I guess I will just go back to the digging up clay that is in my yard to put
my lilies in.

kitty
litter or just plain clay..Works like a champ....I also own an aquatic
garden business (7 yrs now) so yes , I have an interest in what the big
orange box sells in the pond area...

Something I hadn't seen before. Packaged by Schultz, sold by Home
Depot.

I live on a small city lot, can't just dig a hole in the lawn when I
need some dirt to plant in, so this looks like a good thing for me.

the bag says it is 100%arcillite, won't float, won't clog pumps, is pH
neutral, all the good things.
