if i didnt want to move away from coco to an inert medium this is what i would do. Ive read your posts and they do inspire me. If the PPK doesnt come thru this is the next plan.
Hi, DaveTheNewbie.
Thanks.
Some of the illustrations of experiments from the linked thread were inert medium. Pumice, perlite, calcined clay, gravel. Each could be used as a standalone substrate. We did find pumice to calcined clay, approximately four to one, to be a versatile and reusable soilless mix.
Our previous post was to share our findings relevant to watering as little as possible, in those inert mediums; to accurately determine the margins of drought, turgor pressure stability and surplus run-off depletion rate over a given period.
A possible gardening experiment might be to try various inert media and mixtures and different watering intervals; to find the mixture that might suit your watering methods. The plants or trees might tend to adapt to the methods of the gardener, within an appreciable range. Experimenting might tend to find the extremes of ranges; the median water or nutrient solution input stability interval, or equilibrium (e.g, waterxygen:root mass), for that particular media mix - coupled with the gardeners particular range of watering - or desire to water the plants or trees and further experiment in the various methods, systems.
