Pumice- Safer alternative to Vermiculite?
    #5864093 - 07/16/06 02:11 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Have any of you advanced cultivators tried Pumice, or have reason why/why not it would work? It's porous, non nutritional, and can be ground up to verm sized bits (I'm pretty sure anyway) so why not?

If if wont, any suggestions as to what will?

I'm thinking growool, but that too (although much safer) still has a small risk before you case it in coir.

Please no "get vermiculite and use it in a glovebox" or "work with you vermiculite outside" posts, I just want ideas and suggestions for alternatives, or even proven methods, and I'm willing to experiment if anyone has an unproven one.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.
