Jiffy Mix/BRF as a substrate? + More
    #5923256 - 08/01/06 09:24 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Jiffy Mix as a substrate? Coir peat lime? Straw? Which will work which will? Anyone tried it? I made my Cardboard/BRF and Papertowel/BRF cakes, in an experiment to find a vermiculite substitute. I also made a combination of the two. The ones with cardboard in them looks ugly and are not spaced out well. It took about 7 minutes to cut up the cardboard for only a couple cakes, and not only are the jars ugly and spaced out way too much, but there ugly. Yeah I guess that shouldn't matter to me, but the inkless, natural paper towels have great aeration and do really nicely with the BRF, not to mention the jars look pretty.

The paper towel was easily cut to pieces in about 2 minutes, so it's about a minutes worth of work per jar. I used 2 and a half pieces of paper towel to fully squish down in full cup, added 1/2 cup water, half cup brf. Airation is real nice in there, unexpectedly.

Jiffy Mix though. You can get a huge bag for only like $10, you don't have to worry about vermiculite dust and leaving vermiculite where your family eats/poops/whatever, and I couldn't see it not working. So, anyone know if it has? Anyone know what the ratios of vermiculte/whatever/whatever? I'm trying to chill on the verm for a while after my friend accidentally ingested some after he washed his hands and rubbed them on a towel I forgot I had used to clean vermy hands off with before, then ate cheese doodles and licked his fingers off, not knowing the stuff he was eating supposably causes cancer (I asked my prof. today and he too says that vermiculite is whats cancerous the absestos thing aside)

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.

That's funny, I just did a few multigrain flour/moisture control potting mix/polymer crystal jars... They're about 15% done, it's been a little over a week. I'll let you know how they turn out.
