Questions and answers

Which is better for a terrarium?
The Mosser Lee bag. Its stones are cleaned and inspected, and the size suits terrariums and dish gardens. The Vigoro stones are small and better for drainage layers.
Which covers more area?
The Vigoro bag. It covers about 2 sq ft at a 3 in depth against about 0.25 sq ft for the Mosser Lee bag.
Which has smaller stones?
Vigoro. It is listed as small size, while the Mosser Lee stones run up to 1 in.
Is the Mosser Lee bag worth stepping up to for houseplants?
Yes, if you are topping pots or filling vases. The stones are cleaned, inspected and rated well by owners. For a deep drainage layer across a wide pot, the Vigoro bag gives you more volume.
Can I use either for succulent soil cover?
Both work. The Mosser Lee stones give a coarser top dressing and are marketed for moisture retention. The Vigoro stones give a finer, more uniform surface.
