I reclaim bonsai soil as much as I can to save money and because I live in an area where bonsai soils are not in local stores. My best choice would be to drive to Portland Oregon for inexpensive pumice. Any shipping for anything is off the wall for me because of freight charges. I have 1/8" and 1/4" screens but have been unable to get 3/8" screen. Does anyone know of a place where I can purchase a piece of that? AS always, help appreciated. Thanks!
I contacted TWP as suggested above. It would be several hundred dollars to get a 24" X 24" piece of this screen to me. I used to be able to buy a piece like that and shipping was reasonable. Not happening now. Many places want to sell a complete roll verses a small piece.
Have you looked at a local hardware store by any chance? I've bought small rolls of galvanized hardware cloth in the past from Lowes/Home Depot. Don't remember the size but probably 1/4 inch I think, maybe 3/8.
Lol @gooeytek and I on the same wavelength
I just wanted to update this thread to let those interested know that I did fiond supplier that had 3/8" hardware cloth. The Company that I got it from was:
Meyer Bees, Minooka, Il, # 815-521-. they also have a website of, meyerbees.com. They happen to have this size screen because it allows bees to get in the hives, but not mice. I bought the smallest piece that they would sell, 2'X 4' and all total is was $35.00 or so. I was happy to get it. I have a screen made and ready to go. Nice people at Meyer's Bees to deal with by the way. Pictured is the new 3/8" inside diameter screen on the top and a 1/8" stainless steel screen below that, Also have 1/4" and a 1/2" screens.
PS: that is not a screen to the right. That is a grow box built for a big yamadori.
