Re: Pumice in melbourne
If your having trouble finding pumice - I'm currently using some stuff called growstone which I got from a hydrponics shop in Pakenham. It's basically pumice made from recycled glass. I cant comment on how it goes long term but so far the tree's I have in it are doing well. I use a mix of sifted potting mix, growstone and zeolite.
