## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it hard like gravel or soft? Im wondering if this would be suitable for a sensory table? A substitute for pea gravel or sand.**
A: It's hard, not soft, and a little chalky feeling. I personally use a scoop to spread it because I didn't like the gritty residue. Not sure if that helps for your needs or not.  Good luck!

**Q: My bag has different shapes and sizes; is it still okay to use?**
A: Yes, it's still okay to use. Not all of our Gravel looks the same; your bag will come with some pieces that have a bit more character than others. Don't worry; the mix of sizes and shapes is great for drainage purposes. We like to say there is no ugly in recycled!

**Q: Is this more or less dense that water? Does it float or sink?**
A: This person is completely wrong, they totally float.

**Q: Will this work with rdwc ? Replace hydroton??**
A: Hello!! Yes, works perfectly for hydroponics and replaces Hydroton but has more benefits.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks cute and seems good for blocking gnats.
*by K***T on July 27, 2021*

I purchased the regular size 1 gallon bag. In retrospect, I wish I had gotten the 1.5 cubic feet because I ended up needing more to cover the surface of about five pots.Originally, I was going to line the bottom of my citrus tree pot to improve drainage to deal with a fungus gnat infestation. Then I read about how lining the bottom of your pot doesn't actually help with drainage. Because the bottom of your soil mass will always retain water regardless of what's below it. So instead of adding gravel, I just removed excess soil.Then I decided to line the top of my plants to prevent fungus gnats or fruit flies from being able to nest in the soil surface.Back to the gravel:At first I thought I wanted the mini size, but it was not available for fast shipping, so I went with the regular. I was concerned it would not cover the top well enough to block the gnats, but after pouring it in, it looks like it will work really well. And I actually like the large size because it will be easier to remove later when I repot it.I also think that the gravel is cute. I think it improved the look of one of my pots that had a lot of exposed soil.Overall, I think this is a great alternative to gravel or sand. It seems like it may allow for more air flow. The best part about it is it doesn't weigh much. And of course, also finding a use for recycled plastic is great. I'm glad I found this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are great!
*by M***W on May 5, 2024*

If you want aeration without the weight of stones, this product is great, especially if you’re potting a plant without drainage. Also, I love the sustainability story. And it saves on potting soil And keeps your plant relatively lighter if you need to move it. I’ve bought this again and again. Obviously a lot goes in to growing a fiddly fig, but it did help me succeed here I think. And it’s been great with a number of different Indoor plants.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ No surprises here, works like it is designed for. Provides adequate drainage for several plants.
*by J***N on July 9, 2024*

Works well in a planter system I have, with resevoir below, then the smart gravel, charcoal and potting mediun. The stones are big enoug that they do not plug the holes in the resevoir system, and not so small that they fall into the water resevoir.
