[IBC] sifting soil components
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 !! Mark Hill - still frozen in Harrisburg -----Original Message----- From: Internet Bonsai Club ] On Behalf Of John T.

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. John Austin, TX 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. :-( Craig Cowing NY Zone 5b/6a ************************************************** ********************** **** **** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ********************** **** **** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- -- +++++ Questions?
