## Description

Hoffman 17502 Charcoal Soil Conditioner, 24-ounce.

Review: It was perfect for my projects - I really liked the smaller chunks. Worked perfect for my terrarium and a couple no drainage pots. I also started mixing a little charcoal, to my soil. I usually mix my own soil. I think it adds extra air circulation for the roots. The chunks of charcoal aren't to small they are perfect. I had bought a bag from the local nursery and the chunks were really big or it was dust. Needless to say I really like this kind of charcoal. Perfect size and the plants love it. Just be careful when using the charcoal. It's all has a little dust and you don't want to be breathing it in. So I'd use a mask or pour it and back away for a few min. Hope this helps.
Review: Easy to Use, Hard to Find! - This is a must have for a terrarium or planters that do not have drainage. I have a 40 gallon aquarium that I converted to a tropical terrarium and I used the charcoal on top of pea gravel. I also use this for planting in non-traditional plant containers that do not have drainage. This stuff works great and keeps plants fresh even with the high humidity of the closed terrarium. I have not had mold or any of the other problems when using charcoal under the growing medium. This stuff is great but hard to find locally. I am glad I bought it and did not skip this step. I'm afraid I would have had to start over very soon without the charcoal layer under the soil. + Resealable Bag + Price + Small Pieces + Many Uses + No Mold/Fungus Problems Anymore + Terrarium Remains Fresh - Dusty (I wear disposable gloves and grab it from the bag instead of pouring to create dust) _Bottom Line_ Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I actually made another order after seeing how this product keeps the soil fresh. I enjoy putting plants in containers that are not made for plants (no drainage mainly), and glass containers cannot have drainage hole added easily. I removed several plants from fish bowls, vases, etc. and placed the charcoal in the bottom and put the plant back in. So glad I did! You cannot go wrong here especially for the amount/price. 5 Stars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hard to tell
*by G***T on October 29, 2013*

It's always hard to tell how well these things work, whether you can attribute increased growth or productivity to any one additive. I actually use this as an additive to my compost pile and worm bin to increase microbial life. So it's hard to tell how well this works but I know the worms love it and logically it makes sense that these small pieces of charcoal can be used to house herds of microbiology, which helps to break down nutrients and make them more readily available for your plants to uptake. This product seems nice and would definitely suggest purchasing to anyone who is interested and thinking about trying it.
