rather stupid question about cork.....
    #874314 -

i dont really think i can find vermiculite around my area, and i found that i cant use perlite as a substitute for verm in rice cakes. so my question is can i use cork? because vermiculite is supposed to let air in and out, this was just a thought, let me know what you think.

If you have a PC, try using whole grains. I have no problems finding vermiculite, so I can only pass on what I've read in the forums. If I'm not mistaken, people have used coir as a substitute for vermiculite in BRF jars. You might want to try a search of the forum for more information.

Peace

Well, verm doesn't have any nutrients. It is in the BRF jars to retain moisture and keep things loose and airy. I suppose cork could work, but once again, I have no experience with anything other than verm in a BRF jar.

how would i go about steralizing cork? cuz my idea of how tog et cork was steal a bunmch of these little cork stoppers from my schools chemistry lab, and break them up into small peices then sue them as a verm sub.

Yeah, break it up, mix with the substrate you are using and then pc or boil (whichever you prefer). Same as verm.
