Hey gang, just thought i'd share what most members in our club uses for soil.
Soil is gathered from somewhere on the island (i haven't been shown where yet)
This first pic is unsifted.
First I screen out the big stuff, roots & other stuff included.
Then I screen out the (all screen sizes approximate) 1/2 in size.
Next is the 1/6 size.
& finally the 1/4 size.
Shot of all 3 sizes in buckets. The big ones can always be crushed to a smaller size or used as drainage layer (if you use a drainage layer)
This is black cinder that we get already screened from a guy on the big island (1/6-1/4 size)
Here is a comparison of Hawaiian soil on the top, akadama in the middle & black cinder & turface on the bottom.
Lotta work & little return, but its free
