The German clay product is not available here.

What would be the closest product? 

LECA  and is not as absorbent I have been told,Or is seramis just a form of LECA?

Zeolite breaks down. What about lava rock or scoria, would that be any good?  

What about hydroponic clay balls?

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

Here in the states it is available as Turface MVP. It is used on sports fields... You probably have something similar over there.

Beware of the price hacks online... I get mine from a landscape supply shop around the corner from my house for $17 for a 50 lb bag.

Agree w/ Laaz,
 If you can find it in Australia, Turface ( or how ever it is branded there) is an excellent soil amendment. Will say that Turface MVP is the best of their product offering and is what I use in my own mixes, especially for anything that can't be grown (or won't grow ) in soil mixes containing organics (peat, mulch, leaves, etc).  

Very stable and doesn't break down over time.. 

Good luck

-Nathan
