Fine volcanic gravel

The best substrate for bonsai and cacti

Available in 2 granulometries, 1-2 mm. and 2-4 mm.

It has a stabilized pH between 5.5 and 6, which makes it an excellent support for cultivation.

Akadama Substitute and Enhancer

Greater contribution of minerals

We have always read that Akadama is the best substrate for bonsai, bonsai began to be cultivated in Japan and Akadama is a Japanese volcanic substrate that was used from the beginning, and therefore it has always been believed to be better , it is not like that, it is simply the substrate that was used in the beginning, but its mineral content is much lower than the mineral content of volcanic lava gravel.

Akadama and volcanic lava gravel are both of volcanic origin, both are light and porous, they maintain humidity, perfect for bonsai and cacti, but in favor of volcanic gravel we can say that it provides a greater amount of minerals, 27% more silicon, 12% calcium, 10% more magnesium and 3% more iron.

Volcanic gravel is better than Akadama

The volcanic gravel substrate decomposes little by little with the irrigation water and this decomposition provides minerals to the bonsai, essential micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron and silica, therefore your bonsai will be "better fed" and in a way more complete than using akadama.

Color for your bonsais

Red/brown/garnet in color further enhances the beauty of bonsai.

Not really what I paid for.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I have two major chewer dogs, and one of REALLY chews on everything. It’s super difficult not spending an average of $50 every 2-4 months on chew toys because they go through them so fast. When I got my first boy I saw his chewing habits so I looked for a durable chew toy brand. Nylabone was everyone’s favorite so I tried two or three chew toys for him after attempting other brands. He’s six years old and this past Christmas I JUST threw away his very first chew bone. It lasted over 5 years. I was ecstatic after year one! A heavy duty chew toy brand that actually did was promised! Naturally I stuck with Nylabone, never having an issue with any of their toys until this one. Cheeseburger bacon flavored/scented was my go to for this second puppy I just got with the same, if not more, super chewing habits. He loves trying to steal our bacon and burgers so I’m like, “Okay. I’ll try this one.” It arrives, I open it. It smells like freshly burnt rubber from tires and neither of my boys will touch it. I’m also wondering how this can be durable if I can literally bend without trying much. I’m overly concerned with them digesting it and will probably toss it in the trash since my youngest boy has stomach issues already and doesn’t need this thing irritating it. In short, if you think yours will smell like bacon burger go for it. Just make sure your dog isn’t a super canine chewer because I doubt this thing would last an hour with even one of my dogs and that’s if they would actually touch it.
