i was just wondering has anyone used this in their mix and issert similiar to brick dust ?

and some of the pieces has that glaze on it should i be worried?

sooo i guess noone uses crushed tiles

Hey IS
I have been using crushed terracotta which has some glaze on it. Glaze won't ge a problem what would worry me about roof tiles is if they are made from cement or a clay.
Can you take a picture to help clarify?

i asked the lady and she says its terracotta and since i drove all the way to bonsai environment and all they had left was the small grade of chinese akadama i thought it would do the same being both terracotta
please tell me that its not going to kill my tree or all that malleting would be a waste of time

Terracotta will be fine. I have been lucky enough that the local landscapers have crushed terracotta in stock. I did not realise bonsai environment sold it as Chinese Akadama?

no thats not what i meant , lol

they had little clay balls which they call is chinese and its like akadama and all the bonsai enthusiast got all the medium grade before me

Ah ok If I was to use the balls again I would go for the fine grade anyway
