Lots of folks in the west have access to Horticultural Pumice which can frequently purchased quite inexpensively in bulk (truck load from the "mining" company or bag or barrel load from nursery suppliers). Boon uses a lot of "Hyuga", pumice from Japan. No bulk here and fairly expensive, but it is "brownish" and not the stark white of some of the mined products in  North America. If you can't find HP nor want to pay for Hyuga, you can use expanded shale as a substitute in you mix- some expanded shale products include- Haydite, lite-weight, expanded aggregae, etc.

When you have so many people coming and going, and everyone is borrowing your tools, it pays to mark your tools with an easily identifiable pattern. 

There appears to be more of a method to the markings as each tool is marked with a different selection of colors, or at least in a different pattern.  Anybody?

Anyone or Boon know about what size pumice particles are used in the repottin video? I ask because I got 5 40# bags of Dry Stall(pumice) and would like to know. So far it seems the majority of the particles are 3-4mm in size with the next abundance bein in the 2-3mm range and the least bein 5-10mm in size. The largest size used for drainage layer? Thanks

You should be able to use all of those sizes...use the larger for your drainage and just discard the very biggest pieces. That all sounds about right.

Boon,  I got both of your videos.  They were outstanding.  I loved them.  I hope that you have another one in the works.  I would love to see you do some grafting of JBP. 

Thank you very much.
 i do a few differnt kind of grafts.  some is very simple and some is complicate.  i am not sure how will i put it in to the dvd yet.

Maybe it would translate better into text and pictures... 

i and my friends are in the process of doing the book.
it may take a couple year to complete.

I look forward to it.

Ordered my Wiring and Fall Maintence DVDs this morning. I can't wait til they get here 

I ordered mine tonight...except that they have gotta get half way round the world, I can't wait though!
