I have studied that page well and truly David.  Will do some experiments 
to try what suits best for my bulbs in this climate.  Also will be 
checking up with the suppliers of the pumice as to what I can expect of 
their "washed" pumice if bought in bulk.  And try some containers with 
baked clay kitty litter.

And find a quicker way to wash pumice myself.

I should have known this 5 years ago.  Would have saved me some 
problems. Ah well, at least I could ask, and read the Wiki.  And now 
improve matters.

Thank you one and all.
