Laterite
I noticed that the laterite subject has been brought up again. There was a
lengthy discussion about laterite just a few weeks back. For those
interested in learning more about laterite, I'd strongly suggest hunting
through the APD archives. Some bottom line messages are: your backyard
clay is almost certainly not laterite, whether it's red or not. Most
laterite exists in tropical areas. The easiest way to acquire some is to
purchase it from a reliable source, such as Dupla. Relative to other
equipment (CO2, lights), it's not very expensive.
