I've had an enjoyable couple of months reading this forum daily and learning all about Al's mixes. Can't wait till spring!

The other day I saw a post from Al with a picture of a jade plant potted entirely in turface. That got me thinking, wouldn't that be the ultimate medium? It's the right particle size(screened), It holds a lot of moisture yet I'm guessing it simultaneously always would have air pockets. I'm also assuming it releases the water slowly so once one got the hang of it you could water less frequently. Or, could one water often since lacking a PWT It would always drain away.

I think I remember reading cost was an issue as the bark was the cheapest component, but that aside for the moment do my thoughts hold water? Thanks.
