>Hello Davek, I read in OGD 328 that you are promoting perlite and vermiculite as a holding medium for soil-less orchid growing. Can you get the same results with this method as you can with horse manure?<
I wouldn't know, Nic. The site I referred to above was just a reference to visit - my two cents, considering the current discussion on Perlite/Vermiculite. I've had no extended experience with these materials. My main interest is currently in the Semi-Hydroponic system introduced by Ray Barkalow http://www.firstrays.com/semi-hydro.htm and the way things are going I'm likely to convert all my plants to semi-hydro (sorry if I'm laboring the point). >If you would like to see the horse manure results, you can see photos of the flowers and the roots on my website. www.vision.net.au/~nicvdb This is also soil-less growing.< Regards. Nic< I viewed your site with interest; food for thought... Obtaining horse manure might be a problem for some. However, I do have ready access to ferret manure; I'm sure it will give the orchids that much more character. ;-) Later Dave - --------------------------- Dave Kirk 37 Taniwha Place Bethlehem RD2 Tauranga New Zealand Ph 64 7 576 7533 Mobile 027 429 4678 ---------------------------
