“By employing some of
these tried-and-tested
approaches to growing
in expanded clay
pebbles, you too can
experience the numerous
benefits contained in
such a wonderful,
easy-to-use media.”
Some MAJOR Don’ts
• Do not allow the pebbles to ever
dry out.
• Do not use the pebbles in a
regular pot without a dedicated
source of water.
• Do not reuse the pebbles without
properly sterilizing with peroxide
or isopropyl alcohol.
• Do not use the pebbles in place of
soil outdoors.
Additional Uses
Expanded clay pebbles can be used
in various other ways around the
garden. I often find myself adding
them to other soilless mediums to
increase the overall porosity and
drainage ability of a medium. Once
the pebbles have been used up, you
can add them to outdoor garden
beds to increase the bed’s organic
matter content and provide more
aeration to the top 6-in. of your soil.
