<p>I am planning a big Aquaponics system to help bring in the food for the family. When I look at the Expanded Clay Grow media I start to get sticker shock.</p>
<p>One good size greenhouse or greenhouses could chew up a lot of currency real fast.</p>
<p>Is there a machine that makes these little beauties I can buy and just start filling with clay? It might be less expensive than buying them if I need a lot of them.</p>

<p></p> Crushed clay brick as a media?tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2012-08-20:4778851:Topic:3848462012-08-20T22:13:07.529ZBarthttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/bartman
<p>Hi folks, like many people I'm having a challenge finding a media for the grow beds that meets my budget. Was wondering if anyone has tried crushed clay brick?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I picked some up and it passes the fizz test and the sizing seems perfect. It's a little lighter than gravel and is cheaper than the river rock I used on my first system.</p>
<p>I looked but was not able to find any previous threads on this subject.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help / suggests. </p>
