Q:There's six soil additives I can choose: muck soil, pine sawdust, vermiculite, perlite, sphagnum moss, and biochar (from baggase).A. Which type of soil additive will hold the most moisture and prevent water loss.B Which soil additive will create the least nutrient runoff?

A quarter pint jar sounds like you need 1/2 cup total ingredients so your 2 = 2 oz or 4 tbsp and 1 = 1 oz or 2 tbsp. You need about 4 tablespoons of vermiculite, 2 tablespoons or 1/8th cup of brown rice and 2 tablespoons or 1/8th cup water.

Q:I'm mixing water and vermiculite for an incubation medium for gecko eggs. The ration is six parts vermiculite by weight and 4 parts water by weight. If the vermiculite is 25.1 grams what should the water be? Also can I see your equation you used for future reference?Thanks for your time

You left out some steps. You should mix the water, vermiculite and brown rice flour(ground brown rice) and place it in a jar and place the jar in boiling water or pressure cooker. Generally they are mixed together in the right ratio. One part brown rice flower, one part water and two parts vermiculite is the recommended ratio. Mix the water and vermiculite first. Then add brown rice flour. Place it half way full in a jar and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Boil it for 20 minutes being careful that the water level is low enough that it doesn't get into the jars. Pressure cooking is better but not necessary. Let it cool down. Inject the spores. After a week or so it should start turning white. At some point you need to put it in a fruiting chamber. I would probably do that at about 2 weeks or when the mycelium had established itself. It needs to be exposed to light or mushrooms won't form. Mushrooms also generally need more ventilation at that point.

Q:My dragon out of no where is digging and needs to lay her eggs. We know what to do, but question is, we have an incubator that needs a new fuse we can go get tomorrow, if its not fixable we can go buy an incubator tomorrow, should I make her wait to lay her eggs til tomorrow, or just let her lay them now, then put them in their containers with vermiculite..etc, and where should I put them until I get the incubator tomorrow and its stabalized? Thankyou!

You could keep them in either, just make sure the vermiculite doesn't have fertilizer in it. Just make sure the eggs stay moist. Check my answer to your other question for another suggestion to hatching medium.

Q:I need a detailed explaination on how to make a nice mushroom substrate...exact measurements, materials, ect..

I would not advise the use of vermicullite for the bedding of you bird , it may be tempted to eat or try it ,then you would loose your bird through intestinal blockage, as this product will Not disolve or break up in any birds gut(crop) If you can get a little Peat or even a pieces of grass with the soil on it dry it off and this is all the bedding your bird will need (I recomend peat if possible)

Q:My leo gecko has a thing full of moist vermiculite, but she won‘t lay her egg. Is it just because everyone is making noise or something like that? Yes, she has a boyfriend. She is between two and three.

She might not be ready, she might be having problems, she might be reabsorbing them.

Q:I recently bought a fiberglass hood for my 78 camaro and want to paint the underside of it with something that is heat resistant like engine block paint or something . Any suggestions. I'm getting the top side set up with vinyl afterwards.

Q:hello.....what is the best way to kepp the containers the females will lay their eggs in warm and to keep the temp. in the container warm???....also any tips on successful, cheap breeding much appreciated!!!!!

That DUST is not vermiculite. Anyone claiming vermiculite CAN contain asbestos doesn't know what EITHER vermiculite OR asbestos is. You didn't say how old the structure is, but if it was built after 1990, it NEVER contained asbestos.

Q:have tried many time with no luck.I just get struggly growth.

Plant seeds in egg cartons, cover with plastic wrap, punch holes in the wrap. Spray water ever day. (Leave in a warm position for 70% of the day. When the seedlings emerge plant them in a warm spot in the garden, at least 4 hours sunligtht a day and keep well watered and feed it heaps with liquid furtiliser, the more you pick the bigger and better it will grow.
