Alberto? Some of us don't have or use digital cameras. You do make a
strong point, though. And it will occur that some materials not only go by
different names in some countries. Some materials just won't be available
in the same quantities or forms. e.g., coir. But this may lead people to
loosen up their thinking and consider alternate forms and methods for
solutions to problems, e.g., instead of using clay flower pots--try using
unglazed drain tiles cut into sections. Just within the united States many
materials are not available in the Midwest that are common in say, Texas or
Oklahoma . To haul a ton of rock, or sand from Texas to Chicago may be
prohibitive as to cost, so certain grades of sand cannot be had readily.
There is also the problem that what goes by a name that may be common in
Oregon, is an unknown in Iowa It's why we have forums like this, for
questions and clarification.

Hi all:
Since there are so many of us in this List from the four corners of
the world, it would be invaluable if some of you include images of the
materials you mention. Most probably, the same materials are available
everywhere but there is always the doubt if you are referring to this or
that. Not only for fabrics, plastics, etc. but also pumice grades, and mix
ingredients marketed under local commercial names.
Many thanks
