Greg McCord joined Daniel E Murphy's groupMany people use lava rock (in OZ they call it scoria)
Few tips about lava rock,
1-you want to make sure the stuff you get was never used for industrial waste water filtration before being sold as landscape rock.
2-lava rock takes some extra washing as it tends to be really dusty.
3-it may tend to be bigger than you really want but you could use it in the bottom of the bed and then top the bed with something nicer if you have trouble getting the size you want.
