John;

I think "Oil Dry" is nothing more than glorified kitty litter !!
If you've ever emptied a litter box, I don't think these hard clay
clumps would look good in your bonsai pots.
As soon as moisture hits it, it turns into a solid clump of clay !!

My neighbor built a slab for an outbuilding and offered me the

of builder's sand he had had dumped in his driveway. I've gone thru
probably
10 5-gallon buckets. Similar ratio of 1:4. Been using ALL that
leftover fines to level the yard. To me the biggest issue is the
amount of work,
time
and sore arms to get just a gallon of usable sand.

That's basically the issue. I'm really bumming because a product I've

had
really
good luck with has changed. I can't think of the brand name, but it's

a
2-part
bedding for patios--larger (1") chunks of crushed stone, and a finer
stone. The
finer stone, once sifted, yielded about 50/50 usable stone. The
pieces
were about
1/8-1/4" and pointed. Nice medium gray color. Now the finer grade is
just garbage
in a bag of silt. :-(
