Arqlite Smart Gravel - Eco Plant Drainage for Healthy Roots | for Pots, Garden, & Decor | Lightweight (0.5cu ft)

You get get a lot of product for not a lot of money AND it's helping to clean all the plastic from our oceans. If you don't know the urgency of the need to clean our oceans watch, "A Plastic Ocean" on Netflix. It will truly turn your stomach and fill you with the same urgency this company and I already know. Back to the product! I always used to put gravel in my planters for better drainage and root aeration but the gravel was damaging my roots so this year I went in search of something different and after looking at $35-$40 5lb. bags of smooth stones, I ran across this product so I decided to give it a try since it was really a low price and for a cause I truly believe in. I debated getting two bags but settled on one at first and I'm glad I did! One bag is huge and extremely lightweight. I was able to fill about 1/4 to 1/3 full on 7 various size pots from medium (about 3lb. pots) to huge (10lb. pots) with one bag! You have to try this Smart Gravel! You will be very happy that you did!

I've taken up gardening and found it very therapeutic for my MS and being homebound. I wanted to grow roses and geraniums in these beautiful Yellow ceramic pots of my mother's. They didn't have drain holes and I'm not too handy, however I'm resourceful and industrious by nature so I called some of my friends who have pretty green thumbs. They told me to fill the pot about two thirds full of gravel and 1/3 full of potting soil. Worked like a charm. Gorgeous white roses and lovely red geraniums. It's sustainable, light weight, very easy to work with and brings me an easy, affordable solution and a lot of joy. Great product. I've used it on top of low quality soil cover that I've tilled and added quality soil and vitamins to, lined and shaped grow bags with it and in pots and gotten great results.

Used a bit, mixed with soil for my house plant. She’s doing SO well and has grown so much. Going to use on the rest of my plants.

The media could not be loaded. This seems like a weird item at first but it makes sense if you let it. You are giving your plants great drainage and a natural looking cover with these light weight rocks make of arqlite.Arqlite is made from 100%rescued plastic and is put to use in many different industries. I like the concept of it and particularly feel good about what im using.

I love that this is recycled and lightweight. Perfect to help fill large pots

They work!

Perfect for my solar hydroponic systems. Happy tomatoes and okras!!!!!

It provides excellent drainage and it's extremely light. Love that it's made of recycled plastic, too. I just bought more, the half-cubic-foot bags of both the small and the large versions.
