Birdseed (millet) Help
    #581661 - 03/17/02 07:35 PM (22 years, 1 month ago)

i THINK i have the terminology correct "birdseed=millet) please correct me if im wrong. I got three questions, and i thank you in advance for any help :

1. Can i use whole grain white rice with vermiculite as a substrate?
( im aware you can use almost anything as a substrate, but has anyone used whole grain (white rice, not brown) ?

2. Can i use birdseed if i dont cook it for a little bit first, so it'll be raw birdseed + vermiculite? Also, how would i sterilize it?

3. Peatmoss, how do i sterilize it, and what would i use it with?

Also (sorry, i know i said 3), if anyone can reply with a birdseed tek or a peatmoss tek, it would be of great help, also if anyone has their own way to grow with those materials/substrates, it would help alot. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

main ingredients i have would be vermiculite/perlite/peatmoss/rice(white rice)/i can ground up or put the rice in a coffee grinder to make it into rice flour like BRF.

PLEASE HELP!

-Victor

Yes, birdseed is composed of mostly millet.

1) No, white rice has no nutritional value

2) No, you use just birdseed, no verm needed

3) Peatmoss is used in a 50/50 casing mix. Sterilize by PC, or baking in an oven.

Get BRF and Verm... its 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup brf, 3/4 cup verm per 1/2 pint jar. Mix, and sterlize. Brown rice flour is needed. YOu can use rye flour as well however.

Since when is this?
