Q:why is vermiculite added to potting soil?

the climate could be horrendously chilly - this previous winter, we had much extra snow than I bear in mind having in the 32+ years i've got lived right here and it grow to be bitterly chilly for an quite long term. yet there have been milder winters, too, with minimum or no snow the place it particularly is been quite average temperature-smart. the climate right here is variety of nuts - the forecast predicts snow interior right here couple of days, whilst we are having a thunderstorm proper now - it grow to be just about 70 this previous weekend - to supply you a concept of the loopy fluctuations. in case you think of it may well be very difficult to conform with the climate, it might desire to be invaluable to look for an risk in a much less wacky (and in many cases chilly) climate - different than the climate, nevertheless, I particularly advise Chicago and the encompassing section for residing, working and enjoying. stable success!

Q:I am a Real Estate agent and I was on a home inspection with a client today that revealed that there was Vermiculite insulation in the attic.I'm wondering if anybody on here has any informed information regarding the topic and if they are familiar with the processes and costs of abatement.Also, does anybody know what the testing procedure is and how accurate it is???

That's bizarre. Maybe they're all temporarily out of stock because we're heading into winter. Try calling around to dedicated garden stores or nurseries. They are more likely to have small supplies in the off-season than places like Target and Wal-Mart, which only carry gardening supplies as seasonal items. The nursery near me still has vermiculite, though that doesn't help you, as I'm not near Chicago. Get out your yellow pages and start calling. It's possible you'll be out of luck until they get their new shipments in late winter/early spring. If you still strike out, you may have to resort to online mail-order. Or just wait a few months.

Q:I caught my stepson growing mushrooms and was wondering if they could be toxic.I threw then away because he‘s young and I‘m scared he might not know what he‘s doing. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thx.

I even have had this too, it quite is not any longer the internal tube, it quite is the bead interior the tyre. as quickly as I delivered greater low priced tyres as quickly as I first have been given into highway cycling, i had this and it replaced right into a producing fault with the bead and so there replaced right into a disproportionately susceptible area interior the tyre and so while inflated to one hundred twenty psi it gets bigger the place the bead is undesirable. Take it back to the placement of purchase, as i did, and you will possibly desire to get a alternative or refund. stay removed from low priced tyres, they're no longer something yet worry! replace the tyre and you will possibly desire to be large! :)

Q:Chinese rose with 6 days after the germination of vermiculite cuttings, is false living?

In order to avoid the emergence of "false living" phenomenon of rose cutting, first of all, when choosing cuttings, we can not choose the branches that have sprouted buds as cuttings. Especially in the growing season with softwood cutting, we should also pay attention to select the branches of high maturity, full axillary buds and no budding branches do cuttings. If it is urgent to use the branches that have already sprouted buds as cuttings, and when the length is more than enough, we can cut off a part that has been germinating. If the short branch, may have been used to establish 1/3 germination of axillary buds will sprout or completely removed, to inhibit their growth, make the bottom axillary bud sprout. In this way, it can make it possible for the root to sprout and sprout.

Q:can i use soil as a medium because havent got any vercumilite for bearded dragon eggs?

That is not really a good idea since soil contains bacteria, larval forms of some insects and does not hold the temperature or the moisture content correctly. The best suited product for the hatching of eggs is vermiculite and the second best is sand, the breeders will tell you that. The next thing you could be doing is placing them in an incubator, commonly used for hatching chicken eggs the incubator will do fine for bearded dragon eggs, just make sure you get one with a temperature setting. In case you need to make the temp warmer or cooler. You can get an incubator at a tractor supply store, Co-Op or a farm supply store that sells grains and animal feed. Any store that sells farming supplies would have them or a place that sells live farm animals like chickens or ducks would have them as well. You can even order them online.

Q:I am trying to propagate oleander from cuttings, but after a week no roots are visible. I used the newest growth on the plants and cut the leaves short. The cuttings are in water and the lowest sets of leaves were removed so that the nodes are in the water. They have been kept indoors in a spot that gets some indirect light. Should I have roots growing already? Also, is there a better way of doing this?

Please do NOT believe all you read on the internet! Vermiculite is vermiculite. Asbestos is asbestos. Both are totally safe, used properly.

Q:is hydroponic marijuana more potent than that grown in soil and why?

You can always dip it in formeldohyde. That is called sherm or getting wet. You can get that from your local undertaker who will usually be high at the time of request. (He works with dead people, he'll be high.) You can also sprinkle some coke over a joint before you close it or some PCP, depending on your want of potency.

Q:Can anyone tell me the way to make good bonsai soil?

Yes this answer varies dependent on many factors including species of tree and preference. But general rule of thumb is that it needs to drain well but still absorb water and release it slowly. Typical substrates used are usual mixes of Lava rock, Pine Bark, Perlite, grit, ect. Many enthusiasts prefer 100% lava rock or Fired Clay Like Akadama. the high end bonsai soil is usualky either lava rock or made of the same stuff as a product called Turface that is super cheap. The Lava rock will drain well and absorb water nicely I prefer a mix of 65% Lava Rock, 20 Perlite, and 15% Grit. Of course we are still going to use a slow release bonsai soil to make sure the tree get's enough nutrients in it's small container. But the fast draining soil will prevent the tree from getting root rot. That is probably the #1 killer of beginner bonsai trees. Also Make sure the pot has good drainage holes.
