Thanks JV, an interesting aspect as I use pumice in some of my orchid
potting mixes. I
have noticed that it absorbs the lime in our hard water?

So nice. Reminds me of something I attended at a Horticultural Society
talk. The person was growing Hoya and he used ground lava stone or
pumice I think and poured it around the plant. It hardened up and no
weeds would grow. Also it looked real nice and it was pourous so water
could get through. Do you know about that method?
It has been a long time so I may not have it just right.
