Any tips on how to source this stuff? I need around 5-6 cubic feet of pumice or lava rock and finding the proper size of lava rock or finding pumice at all has been really difficult.
Oklahoma...ordering pumice online would be like $1000 for the amount I need...I can’t buy 15 qt bags for $30 each when I need 6 cuftwhare do you live?
I was trying to find the reason he was stuck on pumiceAround here horticultural grade perlite is ~$22/4cf bag (30 gallons), and weighs 18lbs. A shit ton lighter than either pumice or lava rock and WAAY cheaper.
It has worked well for me for over 45 years (since 1972), and see no need for the 'latest and greatest' fad.
Do your research.

I'm so basic now compared to years agoLikely some You Tube "star grower/influencer".
Organic container veggie gardeners are GTG for info. The Utube canna growers are quite often FOS, pushing expensive, un needed stuff. *I* avoid them like the plague.

I’ve always used perlite in the past. I’ve always heard actual stone is superior to perlite since it won’t break down and turn to concrete over years of recycling the soil. I want to reuse this soil for a long time and don’t want to deal with perlite breaking down and floating to the top.Likely some You Tube "star grower/influencer".

I buy the same large bags from our local feed & seed store where I live in Canada, and I think they're about $22 too. They're HUGE bags. In fact once my wife was helping by carrying a bag to the car from the loading dock while I loaded in the heavy stuff, and people were staring with disbelief how she was carrying a bag much bigger than she is.

We really don't have a good source here in Oklahoma. The best bargain that I could find was buying it by the cubic yard from Build a Soil. Then, there is freight charges that go with it. They will have to use a lift gate to deliver, I've been there before...I’ve always used perlite in the past.
