Never Knows Best
Lately I find myself going too quick through small packages of Hoffman red lava rock that I buy in a not so local nursery.
I saw lowes offer black lava rock and HD offer red lava rock for sale. Is black lava rock essentially the same mineral as red lava rock (Scoria)? I wonder if the stuff both stores have for sale is too large (like lava rock for grill) for planting purposes. Also Red lava rock looks like it has high Iron oxides content which should be beneficial for pings as prevention of chlorosis.

So, I was wondering, where do you fellow terraforumers get your lava rocks from (that I can perhaps get it in larger quantity)? And could I perhaps buy that stuff from lowes or HD?
Thank you in advance for help!
