Mother Earth Hydroton Original Clay Pebbles - 10 Liter, Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate

Cute little pebbles make your garden look whimsical with little round cereal looking pebbles. I know my garden is in good hands when watered as these pebbles seem to hold moisture and you don't need to water too often. It makes great planter filler to add to the bottom before you add soil.

This bag is 10# and the perfect amount of clay pebbles for my patio tomato plants. The bag is not to heavy to carry around so it's the perfect quantity. The bag is thick so it will not break during transport. The pebbles are a variety of sizes but very close in size, no misshaped huge pebbles in the bag. I'm anxious to use them and see if they help with drainage and increased oxygen for the roots as explained.

I tried this with mini hydroponics in jars and wanted to test it out. Works great with Little plants and herbs. The plants sprouted just fine. Also tried on a fish tank And spread the clay across the bottom. Added water and some plant food and then Spread the seeds evenly after expanded. Took about a week for some of the seeds To sprout but it worked. I would recommend for anyone wanting to try hydroponics.

I've been waiting to receive and use my leca clay balls for a while! Although they took a while to arrive they certainly did not disappoint! The Beautiful leca clay looks wonderful in a clear glass container with plants or flowers. Make sure to clean well ahead of use. The clay allows for plants to grow roots and grip onto the nooks and crannies of the clay. All natural and beautiful plant growing medium

I wondered what I was going to do with these since I don't grow anything hydroponically, and so I came up with a fabulous use for them -- I used them as "mulch" top-dressing on my patio pots of annuals this year! They are very lightweight and will serve the same purpose as the layer of mulch that I normally have to come up with every spring when I plant my patio pots. The very instant that I began to pour these onto the soil surface, I felt like I had been transported to the Southwest. I just kept thinking "Southwestern". They really do give it that look and feel. One 10-liter bag covered the surfaces of 3 large pots easily and would have been able to do more if I had had another pot to do and gone thinner in my coverage.

These leca balls are great for my houseplants. They are growing much better without soil and there aren't as many pests like fungus gnats flying around. These leca balls come in small, medium and large sizes all mixed together in the bag. Tip: you will need to rinse these balls a few times before use.

I have been experimenting with hydroponic gardening the past year. Many members in my AeroGarden group highly recommended using these expanded clay pebbles from Mother Earth Hydroton for the Kratky method of hydroponic gardening. So I was very excited to get started and try these out. I am very impressed! First of all, this is quite a big bag and will last me a long time for my Kratky jars. The quality of these clay pebbles is excellent. They are very easy to use and perfect for hydroponic gardening. These clay pebbles do a great job of blocking the light (to the jar, which prevents algae), as well as stabilizing the plant in the net cup. I would not hesitate to buy more and would definitely recommend these to everyone interested in hydroponics. Thank you for making such an excellent product.

This is not what I expected. But a good product. I thought the clay would get wet, but it stays dry. So it would make a great pot filler to keep your large container plants lighter weight. It is much more efficient than using styrofoam in the bottom of the container. It is not messy at all. It looks exactly like the photo.

We did a lot of planting over the weekend and used these clay pebbles in the soil to help regulate soil moisture. I'm not very good at remembering to water plants and most end up dying. These little guys prevent that from happening. Very happy with this product.

I'm not sure what to fully make of this. It would have been helpful if it came with information or even a paragraph showing the usefulness. I ended up looking it up online to get an idea how to best use it. I put it in a pot in order to grow some of the vegetables. I like that it tells you can rinse them before using and that you are to rinse after using since they are reusable. It's an unconventional way to have a replacement for soil but these appear to be a great natural alternative. They will also last very long time since the bag is very big and you can continue to reuse them which is nice. They have not yielded any great results for me yet but I will continue to use them and see. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend. There needs to be information, even a guide so that people that have never used these before will know the best way to use them.
