Check this medium I found

Looks like looser weave scrubby pad material.. thinking about stuffing it like this into a flood drain bucket.. wtf is this shit?

Looks like swamp cooler pad material, although that is typically 2'+ wide rolls. How did you come across this stuff ?

Near some old canoes... Maybe boating or dock related?

I'd be leary of using it without knowing what it has been coated/treated with. It appears to be very porous, and would require a high frequency of irrigation cycles. I think inert mediums with lots of watering cycles works quite well, (I use perlite and calcined diatomaceous earth myself) and have seen matted material like this made from coir used on NFT type tables. It would be interesting to see it tried in a container, provided it contains no harmful additives.

Roof ridge filter material.
I'm probably going to use it to rebuild the roof, so I will only chop off a small piece and soak some in water and some in nutrients and see what happens

Miss the ability to put stars on a thread. Would have enjoyed sticking some up over this thread.
