Gardening associated stuff can cost fortune if you are buying it from a specialized shop and that too when it has word Gardening associated with it.
The so called Garden Flint/Stone/Graphite can cost fortune, however the same if procured from an alternate source can be much cheaper.
These stones are actually the trash/waste of Sange Mar Mar/Marble factories....that is used for various building purposes such as floor making. Most cities have Marble shaping/cutting Firms. Around these Firms you will find Hardware shops selling these Flints at a very cheap price. Similarly construction material shops also sale it.
These Flints are available in 6-8 colors(Red-White-Grey-Black-Creamy etc).
They are sold at around Rs.30 for a bag(approx 15 Kgs)
There are 2-3 sizes available from very small to pebble size.
These Flints can be used for Mulching(as they remain cool/Sange Mar Mar) and also to protect soil splash on plant foliage by putting a thin layer on the top of Pots.
Moreover they can be used as Garden Spread to cover soil patches or any other decorative purpose.
