Mexadama vs Akadama (The dark horse vs The gold standard)

[Desert O'Piñon]

I have a pallet of old brick.

Glutton for punishment much?
That just sounds like a  lot of work! Keep us updated. I'm curious to see how consistent the results are within our community.
As for ficus, it is still a pretty unfamiliar genus for me. And I don't have a mother plant, so maybe I should just break down (and break the bank) and find a houseplant to take cuttings from.

Ill try red maple as a temperate option and ficus as a tropical option and see what happens.

I don't have any ficus cuttings at the moment but could get some started for you once I get everyone outside and growing strong.

That would be awesome!
Now, THIS is a perfect example of why I love BNut!

That's the only species I even know anything at all about. It's very generous. I certainly wouldn't mind covering shipping. I didn't intend to start a generosity contest!

Ok. PM me and we can arrange.

Unless someone actually wants to give me $13,000 for a cubic yard, of course.

How much including shipping and border taxes?
akadama is too soft in flexible wet winter climates. Kakadama is frowned upon. So maybe mexidama is the way to go?

$13,000/cubic yard includes delivery anywhere in the United States. Are you in Canada? I'll tell the border patrol that I'm shipping pottery. They would ask to look in the sack and I would say "Nooooo! Curse those Michigan roads! It's all broken!"
