Yeah, I know. That's why I put the disclaimer in my post. :rolleyes:




I've never purchased coir that didn't work.
Every brand I've ever used worked fine.

Buy local. Rye grain is available at every health food store in the world, and many ordinary supermarkets.

Look around. A place like that is more likely to have whole rye grain than a big-city store. :thumbup:

Don't go out of your way for rye, it's really not worth it. It's a little easier  than WBS and a little more uniform, the performance is the same though.

WBS is a lot cheaper than most rye and widely available.

^^^true, but rye really is the best, and if you find the right source it's about $15 for 50 lbs.
(But I use WBS, 20lbs for $6)

Doc_T :hi:

I could never find that kind of price anywhere. I could get it at local health food stores for 1.60/pound or for the same price on the Internet including shipping. I honestly wished I had started using WBS a long time ago, it would've saved me a bunch of cash.

:hi:

I haven't found it locally at that price (yet), but I did in another state.
Per pound, you get more jars of spawn out of rye than you do WBS so it actually is cheaper than it might seem.

Easier to get right the first time too, so I recommend it for grain newbs even if they have to pay a lot more.
Once they master using rye then wbs or other grains are easier too.

I get 55 lbs of rye for 18 vs. 20 lbs. of WBS for 8...do the math.
Rye is cheaper.

Rye is definitely NOT available at every health food store.  Where I live I checked every single Whole Foods, and they no longer carry it.  Luckily I eventually did find it at a farm around 40 miles away for only 40 cents a pound.

I originally bought Burpee coco coir, but since I haven't heard anybody say they have used it successfully, I decided to get some Eco Earth today.  Better safe than sorry.  I had emailed Burpee asking if there was trich in it, but they took a long time to reply.  I didn't see it till after I got back from the pet store.  But the reply said that there is no trich in the Burpee coir.  So now I just have extra I guess.
