after 6 months of trying to source a pallet of lace rock, I had the pleasure of unloading just over 2000#s of some nice stone yesterday afternoon...in the pouring rain and lightning:)

Looking forward to a few months of exploring the potential of these stones....
 
Just like Christmas, maybe even better. I'm curious as to if you are going to make your own wooden trays or you have an inexpensive source for saikei pots. OH and glad to see the "gator seeker" canoe is doing just fine.
 
Very nice! Is this the same type of rock used for saltwater aquariums?

I don't use trays for most of my rock plantings in the garden...I have a couple that I will use for display...all pottery or marble

Lace Rock is often sold in fish stores and I am sure folks have used it in salt water tanks but its not base rock or live rock if that is what your thinking... It is actually a form of lava rock from Utah if I am not mistaken.

Either way that is a heck of a score for you! Makes me curious though - Who will take care of all of your plants while you use up every last bit of it? :p

Datgum! That's a lotta rock! I was off yesterday and though about giving you a call, but figured ya'll weren't out of school yet.
