Yes, it's true. You can make your very own self-watering pots with undergravel filters and I am sure Paul will be thrilled to provide you with those. I got the Turface delivered to my garage in my apartment complex via semi-truck today! It was very easy to unload it with a lift gate and a pallet jack. The truck driver's wife allows him to have a peaceful Tetra tank, but he dreams of having cichlids and may show up to our auction. Turface, $25 per 50lb bag. 16 bags available. Email me off-list for directions, map and my phone number.
