Fine volcanic gravel

The best substrate for bonsai and cacti

Available in 2 granulometries, 1-2 mm. and 2-4 mm.

It has a stabilized pH between 5.5 and 6, which makes it an excellent support for cultivation.

Akadama Substitute and Enhancer

Greater contribution of minerals

We have always read that Akadama is the best substrate for bonsai, bonsai began to be cultivated in Japan and Akadama is a Japanese volcanic substrate that was used from the beginning, and therefore it has always been believed to be better , it is not like that, it is simply the substrate that was used in the beginning, but its mineral content is much lower than the mineral content of volcanic lava gravel.

Akadama and volcanic lava gravel are both of volcanic origin, both are light and porous, they maintain humidity, perfect for bonsai and cacti, but in favor of volcanic gravel we can say that it provides a greater amount of minerals, 27% more silicon, 12% calcium, 10% more magnesium and 3% more iron.

Volcanic gravel is better than Akadama

The volcanic gravel substrate decomposes little by little with the irrigation water and this decomposition provides minerals to the bonsai, essential micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron and silica, therefore your bonsai will be "better fed" and in a way more complete than using akadama.

Color for your bonsais

Red/brown/garnet in color further enhances the beauty of bonsai.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.

Great ball for heavy chewers
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Great toy for my Doberman. She chews through tennis balls in about 15 minutes but these are very durable. She likes to chase them but also just chew on them.

My dog loves glowing fetch at night!
Style: Glow Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Fantastic. Sturdy. My dog loves them Glow in the dark is great for fetch at night. I keep a flashlight with me because the glow doesn't last really long. But they charge very quickly and are really bright.
