I purchased some black lava rock today in (semi) bulk from a local landscape supply today. I purchased two 10 gal buckets for $10 per bucket, (my buckets I fill) of 3/8 inch minus. I screened one of the 5 gal buckets starting with a 5mm (just over 3/16th in) screen then again with a 2 mm screen to filter out the fines and dust then washed. I ended up with 9 liters or about 2.25 gal of 1/8th to 1/4th size. I still have to screen the other 2+ gal of larger rocks which are 1/4" to 3/8" in size.
What size do you all use the most when potting? I know it depends on size of tree but I'm asking in general.
I'm trying to compare local bulk to ordering online, for example on Amazon 2 Gal. Bonsai Jack - Black 1/4 in Lava Rock for $36. Which I'm sure is more consistent sizes.
