Red Clay mixing Question!

Soup12 · 12-29-2012, 08:10 PM

I am making MTS.

I have red art clay that is in its wet molding form (like how you buy it at the store). Can I just take this modable clay and add it to the dirt with water?

Or do I need to dry/bake the clay then break it up into tiny pieces then add to soil?

Also whats a good ratio, I am told 10% to dirt...

bake, and crush.

They make a redart powder also If you need more
that's what I would recommend.

If you are still looking for larger microsorum pteropus plants
I saw some mats on aquabid for 20.00 each fyi.
