Pre-Order Aggregates
Remember last year’s aggregate discount for local bonsai clubs? Well, we’re bringing it back! We’re making a few tweaks, but it’s happening – and we’re excited to get you stocked up for spring.
Now, I’ll be honest – sourcing aggregates from Japan is still a hassle. I was just over there, and let’s just say some of the older akadama sources aren’t holding up the way they used to. I won’t call anyone out, but I’ve seen some akadama that’s... let’s say “pre-loved.” ?
Here’s the Deal:
We’re offering 18-liter bags (unless noted otherwise). We need your pre-orders to ensure we can source everything you need before spring repotting season. Expect shipments to land late February to early March.
Available Aggregates:
-
Ho Yoku Branded Akadama – Shohin (1-3mm), Standard (3-5mm)
- Regular Japanese akadama (just like everyone else’s), but we fire it at 400 degrees to harden it. Similar to Ryusen, but a tad harder.
-
Japanese Hyuga Pumice – Standard Size
-
American Pumice – Standard Size (1/4” x 3/8”)
-
Red Lava – Standard Size (1/4”)
What About Black Lava?
We’re working with a mining partner to source Black Lava in the right sizes. If we can’t lock it down, Red Lava will be the substitute. Here’s what we’re hoping to offer:
-
Black Lava – Standard Size (1/4”)
Need Pre-Mixed Soil?
We’ve got you covered. If you prefer your soil ready-to-use (mixed, sifted, and bagged), just shoot us an email at sales@nebgw.com.
-
Soil comes in 2.5-gallon stand-up pouches.
-
We can label them for you or leave them blank.
-
Want custom labels with your club’s logo? We can design them or send you the dyeline to create your own. Custom labels require a minimum order of 250 units for printing.
