Anyone know where I can get clay?

How can I be sure there isn't some sort of additional ingrediant even
in unsented litter?

Buy bentonite from a feed store or farm pond builder person.

HAHA very funny!

It's just not fair I tell you! I can go to any Home Depot or Lowes
and buy bag after bag of sand, but I live in Florida: my dirt IS sand!
Why are they so cruel?

I've got Georgia clay if you need... and my sister has Pennsylvania... ;-)

I'm not a researcher All I know for a fact is that lots of
folks here use the unscented kitty litter for a planting medium.

I am unable to discuss clay with breaking out in a sweat, so I will avoid
this thread.

I used "OILDRY" absorbant from the auto parts store. Cheap, lightweight
while dry, minimal dust. My lotus & lilies grew very well in it.

The best growing plants I have ever seen tended to be rooted in smooth
and heavy clay soil. The plants really seem to root well into it, and
the soil doesn't seem to vanish as fast as other forms of soil. I
made the mistake of buying some of that Schultz aquatic plant soil
thinking it was chips of clay and it was an absolute disaster. The
"soil" is so light that nothing would root into it and the plants all
looked pathetic and weak.

I've never seen clay for sale anywhere. What about clay that is used
for making crafts? Is that safe for aquatic purposes?
