As far as I know, they don't grade it over here. A bag contain golf ball size clay to powderly clay.....

malowie,
Since Cindy is in Singapore, she'll need documents like CITES to export the plant and send it to you. You can try Fauzi at 4ze plant for BE's selection, I think he ordered some campanulatas for his next shipment. Hope this help.

Isaac, this was the alternative to burnt earth, readily available by the country roadside. After a heavy downpour the finer particles being washed away by rain leaving behind the bigger granules.
