    Where can you buy it?
    I've only used charcoal when I've potted a plant in a pot with no drainage.
    I'm sure it could have other uses, just not cheap, is it?
    Or easy to come by in large amounts??

    I suspect some people might be able to afford it.
    Managed for years without it, so have to ask myself, do I really need it?
