First Live Session

I just attended my first chat and found it extremely useful since the instructor, Sylvia, asked me about my system and I included my question about locally available grow media.  I have come to the conclusion that lava rock is my best option.

Lava rock has lots of surface area for bacteria to grow on.  It is tough on the hands though.  I already have a pair of leather gloves so that won't be a problem.

I recommend fired clay if you can.  It is much, much easier to deal with.  It is light weight and completely inert.


The Course has a nice feature.  It allows its user to participate in Live Chat Sessions right on the course page.
