I recently came across something called Dry Stall while researching soil amendments. Apparently, it contains diatomaceous earth and clay. I'm familiar with diatomaceous earth being beneficial for my succulents, but I'm worried that the clay could make drainage and aeration more difficult. Has anyone used Dry Stall or have insights on how it works in soil?

Just a heads-up, Dry Stall can be pretty hard to find unless you’re in Southern California or areas nearby. You might have to look on resale sites like Amazon or eBay if you’re not local, though that can get a bit pricey!
So, here's the deal: there's often a mix-up between two similar names. There's Dry Stall, which is mainly pumice and great for soil! Then there's Stall Dry, which is mixed with diatomaceous earth and clay—definitely not what you want for your plants. Stick to Dry Stall for a good addition to your soil!
Thank you for clarifying that! I was definitely confused about which one to go for.
