Yes, but not within the first few months after planting. Maybe they got a bad batch that had not been properly fired. I have read of some akadama that behaves like a cheap grade of kitty litter and others that are more like kiln fired clay and holds up a lot longer even under multiple freeze thaw cycles.
Would you mind letting me know where you go? I venture down there as much as possible and need to pick some up myself. PM if you don't want to share it here. Thanks!!
Fifth Seaon Gardening on Tunnel Rd across from the mall.
Actually 7 gallons instead of 5.
It's also sold under the name Permatill by the same company. It's the same product as volebloc only used for adding drainage when planting in hard soils.
I’ve had good luck with “Double Red Line”.
I think he runs a great business, really high quality products, but I purchased and used his inorganic mix last year and didn’t see great results IMo. But, that just comes down to individual climates and such. Had I added like composted pine bark or something organic it would probably have been much better, or just used his organic mix in the first place. Just my experience. It’s all very clean stuff though, he even sent really cool stainless steel reporting chopsticks with the spolb
You ever solve this @JoeR ? I also live in Wilmington
No I didn't when I was living out there. The hydroponic shop in town is really cool though, and has a better price for Perlite than you can get online!
