The bags I've opened and checked turned into "super powder"....... 
Can't speak from experience as it's a new product or at least a new label.  Anyone used it yet?  The high heat treatment for this specific brand IMHO turned it into rice crispy powder balls.  Maybe it's just me but I was not enthused.

I bought 50 or 75? Bags of the medium conifer mix last spring, I also purchased 25 bags of Akadama from Fred. The Akadama is heat treated like the old double red line Akadama. However, it is somewhat softer than the old stuff. The premix is interesting, I have been sifting the soil down in to three sizes and dust, I then blend in sifted and sized lava. Unlike Clay King or Aoki blends, this soil needs to be heavily sifted for sizing at least.

The heating to 300 degrees C eliminates live organisms in the Akadama and allows t to pass USDA APHIS inspection.

By means am I saying the whole lot imported of the dragon stuff is bad.  My initial impression was not good but I have only opened about 5 bags.

Without getting into a soil war, from my experience Aoki Blend is my blend of choice.  If I find softer Akadama for sale, I'll buy it and use it for maples and other deciduous trees; cut with lava pumice and granite grit.  I just tone down the amount of Akadama if its super soft.

I tend to mix or adapt a given mix for individual trees when repotting.  Hard to explain online.

No soil war here, I bought it because it is here. Let me be clear, my sifting is not so much for dust,it is for the variable particle size. I want as much particle uniformity as I can get, for me Clay King is the best, but it is a personal choice.

John,  how much do a ?# of Clay King cost out of St. Louis?  I'm getting tired of the whole process to track down soil ingredients each yr.  So much less a hassle to buy something like Clay King and just sift for size.

Thanks John, I will.
