:) Thanks for the heads up on expanded shale...

As you've used it, is it lighter than volcanic? Both, short of harvesting the ash zone near Black Rock, are only available bagged, here. So's everything else, so I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Or... do a trip to Southern Ca. Pay for it on one side... or on the other.

Now... I need a job.


I've never used it, just seen Rob's very detailed videos about it.

Actually, I thought she to be the most intriguing... Hiding up the back there out of sight.

I have not seen expanded shale in bulk here in the southwest. Volcanic rock, aka cinder, is usually the least expensive option. The only drawback is that it is hard on your hands, even with gloves on. Still, I use it, and would probably still continue to do so. Unless I run into a lot of money...

Yep, I basically just use a hand shovel to lighten the load on my hands.

I have taken to jamming a scrap piece of large diameter PVC into it, and pulling out the rocks. Then plop the seedling into the grow bed, pull up the PVC, and let the gravel fill in around it.
