>Friends elsewhere:  where can laterite soil be obtained from mail order?

Albert Thiel sells laterite via the web at http://www.athiel.com/ 
his email is albert at netsteps_com 
Price is $6 per pound or $10 for 2 pounds, and there is an additional 10%
discount for orders via the web. It is available in both powder form and
chunks. I set up a 50 gal. plant tank using his laterite and everything looks
great.

Thiel recommends 1 pound of laterite per 50 gallons of water, mixed with the
lower third of the substrate.
