Default "baked" akadama

Hi,
does anybody know how to make the "baked" akadama? I would like to give
it a try, as in our climate normal akadama last for just one season and
then just dissolve to dust.
Thanks

Enrico

I noticed that actually is of a very bad quality
use pomice or pozzolana otr granite and you will have better
results and no problems .. I changed to that and finishing my stock of
akadama meanwhile

What brand of Akadama do you use? I use Double line brand and it last
for several seasons here in Sweden. I would be surprised if it didn´t
work in Italy. Cheaper akadama does what you say, dissolve in one
season. I read in Bonsai Today (I think) that you can buy akadama and
store it for a couple of years, that will make it even harder (don´t
know if its true). I don´t use pure akadama, i mix it with granit grit
and pine bark.

Actually I live in Warsaw, Poland. But I think we have more or less the
same kind of temperature excursions during the year.

I use akadama that I can get here in Poland. So probably, even if it's
japanese akadama, the quality is the main key to it.

I don´t use pure akadama, i mix it with granit grit
and pine bark.


I moved to keramzite, I don't know what the english name of it, anyway
it's what is used for isolation.
Of course I don't use it pure and it seems working quite well as a
akadama substitute. It shouldn't be too far from the baked akadama. I
was just wondering what about the grain shape and porosity.
