This stuff is so good. It's better than perlite and it stays in the soil for years. I wouldn't make a container mix without it.

I've been using BuildASoil products for years. I don't think there honestly has been any product that I used that wasn't quality. It's a reputable company. I wish the prices were better but it is what it is. Pumice works as described.

Pumice is a superior choice for drainage in soil you are planning to keep, but finding it in a clean usable condition, and in a usable quantity is very nice . Thank you BAS for offering this great product.

I’m a huge fan of this pumice. Mixes well with my other aggregates I use for my bonsai. Works killer all by itself in some applications, great product!

30 % pumice in my pots completely fixed the problem of water sitting on top of the soil and taking forever to soak in. Now, I have to water really slow, because the water will be coming out the sides of the cloth pots unless you give it a chance to go into the soil. Plus it gives lots of housing for the microbes along with biochar. We don't want homeless microbes in our pots.

I've been using this for a while now. I love the size of the pumice for aeration and it's a great home for the soil microbes. Would definitely recommend.

I use this product when I make my own soil. As Jeremy says in the video it doesn’t float to the top like the perlite does after repeated waterings.
Jess L.
Regular customer here! I’ve bought regularly. Highly recommend!!!

Perfect size, it added great aeration to my reused soil.

Well, I have put pumice in with my soil mix, on a new grow, and spread it on top of my pot for mulch. I only grow one plant at a time, and we are less than a week from planting. It does seem to take les water to saturate the soil in the 10 gallon pot.
Jeffrey L.
Nice, little dust or fines. Ready to go into my succulent medium.

This stuff just works great. I wish I had a source here on the East Coast but for now I’ll just buy it from build a soil.
Joshua D.
Top notch, like all build a soil products!

Perfect option to perlite for providing aeration in my raised garden beds. The perlite tends to “float” to the top. This stays in place.

Switched from perlite boy what a difference you can tell pumice will last not as dusty as others very consistent size pieces small tip I like to spread my pumice out about a nice thick 2 I thinn hit it with very small dose em-1 and a very small dose dry fish protein separate bottles mix perlite after spraying with each product wait 1 minute then add too cc soil mix or 3.9 soil mix jump starts microbes

Very clean product, not much dust and no debris or anything. This is my first time using pumice over perlite but I'm definitely liking it so far.
Trent G.
Great chunky pumice & very clean!
Edward
This is my first time using pumice instead of perlite and so far I think it's great. The quality seemed really good, no noticeable dust or debris and sizing is perfect. Overall it adds a great look and feel to the soil and I'm glad to have made the switch.

Keep a few bags on deck. I like to put some in an old bas bag and crush them up a bit to use in a seed starting mix
Steve C.
Pumice is excellent for drainage and for holding air around roots. I would highly recommend this product.

I usually get two sizes after sifting a bag of this pumice. Very good quality pumice for the best, both for regular planting and bonsai mix. Highly recommend.

We used this pumice in our Clackamass Coots living soil recipe, and I was so impressed with the results I went and shared links with all my gardening friends and family. You guys definitely don’t mess around when it comes to quality, sourcing and testing! Thanks BAS! ♥️
Mike D.
The pumice was great add when I was rejuicing my soil.

I have used this pumice the last two cycles to improve my used once bagged potting soil from the well-known commercial brand for flower. Because it has perlite, I added 20% by volume the first year, and about 5% more for the second. The grow grows well and the girls are happy.
Julie E W.
I’ve been getting my pumice from Amazon. It’s full of powder and inconsistent sizes. These were the perfect size and zero powder.

A long lasting alternative to Perlite, this responsibly sourced pumice has less dust and holds up much better over time. Thank you to everyone at Build a Soil

The pumice was a bit dusty so take your time opening and applying it. No problems that I've noticed so far, works as expected. Shipping was good.
