Hi,

I used to travel into western Conn to deliver reptiles in the late 90s-early 2000s. The place seemed to me like it was a patchwork of small trout streams. While I never spent much time walking those streams, the ones that appeared to be similar in my own region, wny, offer excellent sand/gravel with each bend. I used that stuff mixed with coir for years until I got lazy and just started collecting lake Erie beach sand.

Also, for coco peat, coir, eco-earth users. Many folks don't realize that you can purchase that stuff in large 12"x12"x10" blocks for $8-$12.00 each at your local hydroponics store. Buying it by the brick is a huge rip-off @ $4-$5.00 per.
It is absolutely the same stuff, only much cheaper when sold for horticultural applications.

Will
