Best [current] Price for Akadama And Pumice For South-East?

[Adair M]

Nice piles @Brian Van Fleet and @Dav4 ! Dave, is that last photo the clay king? Looks sweet.

The bags with black writing are Clay King. The bags with red writing and the two red parallel lines are "Double Red Line" akadama.

Yes, Clay King is the best stuff.

 

[Adair M]

Yes, that's the clay king. Adair hooked me up with someone who purchased a pallet's worth and was essentially selling at cost...I bought 10 bags but would have purchased more if I could.

He has pumice now Dave. Two sizes, one regular size, and one that great for the drainage layer! It spent a week in my garage while I was out at Boon's.

Lucky dogs, I'd love to get my hands on the clay king, but too expensive...
I get my Akadama from Rennys Hawarthia on ebay. It's a better quality than the stuff I got previously from House of Bonsai. I've had no problems with it breaking down.

The clay king, per bag, was actually cheaper then the Akadama by 3 bucks.

The cheapest place I have found is the Bonsai Learning Center near Charlotte. They have akadama for roughly $7.60 per gallon (4.28 gallons for $40) and kanuma roughly $9 per gallon (4.22 gallons for $38). I was thinking I may take a trip up there next Saturday to pick some up.



Does that sound about right? @Adair M ?

About what you can expect one bag at a time with shipping.

..That's without shipping....

Oh, you're paying for shipping...whether it's itemized or not.

Joe, Bryan of the Learning Center is located in Holly Springs which I believe is much closer than Moorseville. Great people who are more than willing to work with you. Bryan normally attends the TBS meetings and often brings items for members. Saves shipping and your travel.

I bought some from Bryan today, and I think he was shocked to say the least when he saw me haha.


I look a lot younger than I am.




Anyway I hope this soil lasts me a while cuz' geez..

too bad shipping nearly doubles the price.
