This stuff just works great. I wish I had a source here on the East Coast but for now I’ll just buy it from build a soil.

Best Pumice I’ve found.
The only reason I took off a star was I’ve purchased pumice from here before and the pieces were a little bigger. It seems like the average size is a bit finer and for my purposes that’s not quite as good, but I’ll keep shopping with you guys.

Aeration Ace
Perfect option to perlite for providing aeration in my raised garden beds. The perlite tends to “float” to the top. This stays in place.
