DYNA ROK II as bonsai soil

[gavin555595]

Has any one ever heard of dyna rok. If not look it up you can grow almost anything in it ,but get fine. You can use it with no other additives or add it to your usaull soil. Its great for pines and juniper even azelas.

Is it like a rock wool? Is this a medium used for hydoponics? No work with it or heard of results, have you.

I googled this and found this link: http://www.dyna-gro.com/Website pdf Files/Dyna-Rok II Sheet 2002.pdf

gavin555595, have you any long term usage data you might share? Has anyone else tried this product?

I emailed these guys and they sent me a sample. They were very nice and didn't charge anything. I have put some outside in a dish to see if it can stand up to our freeze/thaw cycles and so far, it is getting pulverized. Should be good for tropicals and warmer climates, though.

Look up "haydite" and compare...

Bougie, thanks for doing the leg work on this. If it's falling apart that quickly in Ohio, I wouldn't use it here in GA- it was 18F this AM and we'll be freezing/thawing on and off for the next 4-6 weeks. I probably wouldn't reccomend it to be used anywhere where freezing temps are expected every winter.

I have many friends who have used it and works as a medium. look up sanderson creek bonsai it will show it in soil. I saw his huge 40 year old black pines and san hose junipers planted in it i would try it on somthing small first just in case its not like it would be a risk for others any way im trying it fom my new junipers i bought from him good guy.
