Yes, I use this and it's very good. similar to the old Tesco cat litter, the granule size is small so I suppose it depends on what you want it for.

I use it for making up a seedling mix and also add it to pumice for a variable particle mix with a good quality John Innes.

Loading up the car with sales plants, a display, and looking forward to lots of good company at the Wisley gardens event.

Simon. The cristate flowers are not common but they do crop up from time to time. I have found they are more likely to occur on cristate plants but I also had a normal single headed Gymno that regularly had several normal and one cristate flower every year! I'll try a find some of my pics to post.

Very sad news. A lovely man, and a knowledgeable grower who did so much for the society.
