Leca Horticultural Grit, Clay Pebbles, Lava rock like, Fine Grade 2-4mm (1L)

This is exactly what I was looking for to upgrade my potting mixes. If you grow plants that absolutely despise sitting in soggy soil, this horticultural grit is an absolute must-have.The quality is outstanding. It is beautifully graded, perfectly sized, and crucially, it comes remarkably clean with barely any of that annoying fine dust or sludge you often get at the bottom of the bag. It is also completely lime-free, so you don't have to worry about it messing with the pH levels of your prized specimen plants.I’ve been mixing it into my compost for some large, heavy container plants to drastically improve long-term drainage and aeration, and it works brilliantly. It opens up the soil perfectly, allowing water to drain right through the bottom holes so the roots can breathe and stay healthy. It also has a lovely weight to it, which adds great stability to top-heavy pots.On top of that, it makes a fantastic, neat top dressing for the surface of the pots, which not only looks incredibly professional but also helps suppress weeds and keeps the base of the stems from getting waterlogged. A top-tier product for anyone serious about their gardening!

Great and does the job well

Smaller bag than I anticipated but good quality and used to dress several house plants after repotting.

its not as described. it was disappointingI'm sure the product works fine whatever the colour however i purchased based on the colour photograph supplied at point of purchase.What arrived was a completely different colour and resembled crushed very dark lava rock.The bag was opaque so could only view once opened.As such one star for accuracy of description and 2 stars as it probably is still functional albeit no use to me, who was seeking decorative properties too.total 3 starsI will not use this supplier again and would encourage instead to visit a garden centre.

Very happy with this grit! Nice and lightweight and mixes easily into the soil. Perfect

Sadly the size to price ratio is poor as the price is expensive. Having said that I use it for my expensive bonsai trees as my main soil formula and it is amazing for root growth. I add 20% molar clay ( diatomic earth pink cat litter ) with it just to spread the overall amount to make the grit go further.I find bigger results in root growth compered to Akadama, which compacts after time, and is similar to lava rock in it's water/air retention. My advice is give it a go on one of your bonsai trees and you will see a difference in root growth with your normal fertilizer routine.I wish I could have afforded more because now as a pensioner I have to count the pennies.The fact I trust it on my few bonsai trees which I have been growing for over 50 years, says how much trust I have in this product, hence the five star. There is a large bonsai community out there and hopefully people reading this review will be encouraged to try it and possible bring down the price.

Good grade of grit in a handy size pack.

fantastic
