I'm really heavy on the questions lately. I apologize for asking questions that have been asked previously. Some people take offense to that and others are more than happy to chat. So while I do read a lot, I think I'll still ask questions as I usually don't find an opinion about what exactly I'm looking for. On to the question...
Lava Rock. I want to use it as part of my planting medium but not sure how to get it to the size I want. The only stuff I have available are the larger rocks. Do you just bust them down with a hammer or is there a better way. I plan to sift my soil to get the fines out but is it really necessary to get the sieve that will "portion" out the different sizes. I was planning on just using window screen with it dry and then use the screen again to rinse it with a hose.
Similarly, I'd like to incorporate some pine bark nuggets (mulch style) into the mix too. Same applies; it's too big at first. I have an old junk blender that I used to make fish food in that I could use to chop it down pretty fast, would that be okay you think? Then sift the same with the window screen and rinse afterwards?
Thanks for everyone that is so happy to help! It really means a lot and is greatly appreciated!!!
