| Jerry, you mentioned having difficulty in obtaining Hydrokorrel and I thought you may be interested in the site 'Home Harvest Garden Supply' . I think this might be the same media :
Hydroton
LECA
Lightweight Expanded
Clay Aggregate
Also known as fired clay pebble and grow rocks, Hydroton Clay Pebbles are scientifically prepared specifically for
hydroculture use. This versatile medium has hundreds of tiny pores that retain moisture. Large 8 to 16 mm average diameter size allows for maximum oxygen to the roots while providing a stable base for plant roots grown in active hydroponic systems or passive hydroculture applications.
Perfect for passive, wick, and subirrigation use, individual hydroculture pots or hydroponic systems. pH neutral. Reuse over and over by rinsing out roots then sterilizing in a very mild bleach solution. Rinse well before using. Orchid growers use this medium extensively. The houseplant potting soil of choice in Europe.
Since LECA is completely inert and has no nutrient value, be sure to fertilize with a nutrient that contains all of the trace and minor elements necessary for plant growth. Available in 3 convenient sizes, including 5, 10 and 45 liter bags. 10 liters fills about ten 5.50 inch square plastic pots.
