This is the smallest size of crushed Leca Balls(1-4mm) and this is recommended only for mixing in potting soil of small plants (Like-Cactus, Succulents etc.). For bigger plants, we should use bigger size of crushed Leca (3-7mm) which is available on our website.

Crushed Leca plays crucial role in roots aeration, hence these crushed Leca should be used in potting mix of small plants. These are used as soil conditioner for plants. It helps in better root growth.

This size of crushed Leca is used as best substitute of Perlite. It is very helpful to ensure fastest drainage in soil. Even after mixing in soil, these crushed Leca balls do not get powdered for many years and we can re-use them. However, this is not possible with Perlite. After using Perlite, that disintegrates much earlier and drainage in soil is not continued.

But, if we use crushed Leca, eternal drainage in soil is observed while ensuring proper roots aeration. We recommend to use it instead of Perlite.

 These balls can absorb water upto some extent. These crushed clay balls are light weight and also used to make light weight soil media in horticulture. If we pour them in water, they will float (We have shown image). It ensures overall better health of plants.

Due to availability of clearly visible air cavities in these clay balls, they ensure proper exchange of gases in soil for better growth of plants. Use of Crushed Leca in soil helps plants in protection from weather adversity also (i.e. Winter and Summer). Leca Balls are used for thermal insulation and filling material in construction industry.

If you wish to use pebbles over the surface of potted plants' soil, you must use these Leca balls (Approximately 20%) in potting mix. Because these clay balls can ensure better aeration of rooting system, even after putting heavy load of soil/pebbles over them. However, if you are using only Vermiculite/ rice husk / Cocopeat powder as a component in your potting medium, there are high chances for blockage of root aeration due to heavy load of soil or pebbles over them.

For mulching or decoration of top layer of potted plants, these crushed Leca are not preferred by most of the plant lovers. All other sizes of clay balls are available with us.

Ph value : 7, An ideal growing medium must not be too acidic or basic. pH value of these clay balls is neutral.

A Dyadic Review: Baffling, Brilliant
Difficult. Rewarding. Serious. Hilarious. Wise. Faux-wise. Scholarly. Mock-scholarly. Observant. Absurdly, obsessively observant. Sharp characterizations. Ridiculous characters. Devout. Bawdy. Endearing. Frustrating. Genius. Barking mad. Narratively incoherent. Stream-of-consciousness associative. Consistently provincial. Profoundly universal. Mired in the 18th century. Harbinger of 20th century literary Modernism. Baffling. Brilliant Not for every taste. For my taste. And while I'm at it, let me give a shout-out for the out-of-print Norton critical edition, which provides many helps, essay avenues of understanding, and a clever chapter summary/table of contents. For so many years - since reading Moby Dick in grad school with the help of a Norton critical - this publication line has been my go-to for great texts: useful annotations, contemporary reviews, later scholarly articles, and more. And also let me give a shout-out to Anton Lesser, who narrated the complete novel for Naxos. I have never, ever experienced an audiobook as masterfully produced and narrated as Naxos' Tristram Shandy. No, it is simply not a book one can listen to and fully comprehend as heard. But one might read while listening, or listen while reading, with - if you have the riight software - the narration sped up closer to one's own reading speed, and experience the full majesty of Lesser's absolute preparation, with Latin, Greek, French, and German - as well as regional English - beautifully and humorously intoned, character voices carefully differentiated, tone and mood captured, etc. Or, as I do, go for a walk and listen as you walk, and afterward slip into a comfy chair, crack the novel open, and continue from where you left off, or backtrack if necessary to sort out the characters. In any event, and particularly for devotees of audio books, do find Anton Lesser's note-perfect reading, a veritable radio serial, perhaps the last book you'd expect anyone to attempt single-handedly, with My Father, My Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Parson Yorick, Doctor Slop, Widow Wadman, and all the rest of the supporting characters beautifully, consistently interpreted. Lesser is, in a galaxy of fine narrators, the greatest I've heard: an absolutely peerless voice actor in a most demanding work.
