You read me right @Malcolm …I’ve never used Akadama before this last growing season. I had just heard so many nay-sayers talk about how it was a waste of money, and there were more effective substitutes. While that may be true, and while I also have had success with other materials, I planted several trees (2 conifers, 2 deciduous) in straight akadama, and they grew incredibly well. I wish I had tried it earlier. Now I do something similar to the “Boon” mix - 1:1:1 akadama, pumice, lava and have had great success with it.
