Bulk material question
    #26566795 - 03/30/20 08:55 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Anyone crazy enough to have ever tried using oak pollen pods? They are light and fluffy and seem to hold water. With the great 2020 coir shortage I'm looking for other things to experiment with. Just curious if anyone has tried this before.

Oh totally. I’m on the east coast. Amazon still has some of the larger ones, but I find it too much of a hassle to break up for an individual tub. Good as a last resort though.

Appreciate the enthusiasm. This is all experimental but I decided to give it a pollen loaded go! I'm bag sterilizing because it would be considered a nutrious bulk product.

In the PC now.

Well I'm broke so no Vermiculite. No more coir either, reduced hours and my wife got canned. I'm using what I got.

We will see.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have had it growing on egg carton cardboard which wasn't sterile by any stretch of the imagination.

Time gets much more valuable the older I get, and no matter how much money I spend, I can't get a second of it back.
