I would hazard a guess and say that you can go ahead and use it. Check for additives, but this stuff is meant to be used around reptiles which do not tolerate much in the way of chemical toxins. If tropical snakes can live in this stuff with no ill effects, I would consider it completely safe. People who keep snakes, which I used to, are very careful what they expose their animals to. As far how it will work in your garden, at half-price I'd give it a shot and see how it goes.

Where did your photos go Dax? Actually it is Cupressus glabra 'Blue Ice' that is behind 'Raywoods Weeping'. The 'Blue Spire is behind and to the right of Picea o. 'Skytrails' in the first photo. Dave Cupressus glabra 'Blue Spire'

Jurassic Park is looking pretty good today. I took T Rex out of the pot and stuck him in the ground yesterday morning (well, actually my DH did it for me). He looks better today!

T-Rex gets some sun during midday,but goes into dappled shade later. This time of year here,all my blue hostas are already green,and T-Rex is no exception. It's been very hot and dry here lately,and hostas are already looking a little down. Remember,hostas start coming up here in March,so they have already been up 4 months. T-Rex emerges a little later,but this year has been strange,hosta-wise. Phil
