FAQ

Buying a house and we love it! One problem there is vermiculite in the attic used for insulation. It is now said that it has a 50% chance of having asbestos. How do i remove it safely?

Clay minerals have large surface areas with weak electrostatic charge, so tend to be able to absorb a lot of nutrients (and water, actually), and thus tend to be good as part of a potting soil mixture. The vermiculite will not decay into something else, releasing its structurally-bond components, but like all clays, it is a good source for storage and capture of nutrients that can be later taken by plants. Acts like a kitchen cupboard in a sense. You have to replenish the cupboard once in a while or it will get empty, is all. If you add liquid fertilizer to a soil containing vermiculite, some of it will absorb onto the surfaces and be available for later uptake, once the concentration of free nutrient constituents starts to fall.

i found this unique variety and i would like too root them but ive tried to root hibiscus b-4 ,no luck ugh!!

I have rooted hibiscus before. Heres how I did it: first I cut the new growth. If you know anything about plants you should be able to tell. Its usually greener than the more brown previous seasons growth. Then I cut a piece that had no obvious flower blooms on it. Then I wet the end of the piece I cut and dipped it in Rootone. This can be bought a most garden centers or even a major department stores. Then I but the dipped end into some regular potting mix and place in a partial sunny spot or even in a sunny window indoors. then keep moist. I usually wait to plant it untill the following year. That way the roots have a chance to get established. Good luck. (also wash hands very well after using the rooting hormone for safety) Oh and only leave two leaves when you root. Thats how I did it.

WHERE CAN I GET VERMICULITE, FOR GROWING MUSHROOMS?

mica windows were generally installed on furnaces (way back when) sheet mica has no place for water to collect - but in the case of vermiculite - Vermiculite is a general term applied to mica-like platy minerals that contain up to 4% water, chemically trapped between the mica sheets. Upon rapid heating to temperatures in excess of 900°C, the trapped water changes to steam, forcing the mineral sheets to expand, forming an expanded vermiculite product. My text follows - Mica can be treated with high pressure steam (400 psi) , then immediately passed through a high heat environment 900-1000C - resulting in expanded mica a.k.a. vermiculite. Silicon popcorn, with a dash of potassium and fluorine for 'flavor'. At 1200C this can be fused with ceramic materials yeilding a surface that has to be seen to be appreciated.

I want to start growing mushroom. For the compost I want to use horse Manure and heat it (to pasteurize it).What are some tips? Techniques? What temperature do you cook it at?Thanks!

Vermiculite is hard to find now since some had asbestos in it, so most producers have quit selling it. Don't use the miracle grow. You could just buy plain peat moss available anywhere, or plain sand would work fine too. Play sand is usuallly available in any hardware store or lumberyard.

i am getting leopard geckos if they have eggs do i need an incubator or is it fine to use the heat lamp? please answer! thanks

I would actually get an incubator if you plan to hatch them but if you keep in mind that you could have 20 baby geckos and nowhere for them to go. A pet store usually wont take them and your friends definatly don't want 5 each!

how do earthworms help compost?

Hi: Verniculite is environmentally friendly and wonderful for your plant specimens. I have germinated thousands of seeds in a greenhouse and indoors. I always use a light weight potting soil - vermiculiate and humas, mixing them all together. Vermiculite is also present in a lot of different commercial fertilizers and other landscape and garden products. I would recommend using Vermiculite if you are planning on germinating seeds or even putting in the ground with your trees, shrubs, flowers or herbs. I hope this has helped some.

I have vermiculite and perlite could i combine either of those with the soil?Think its only added to retain moisture, therefore vermiculte 50% with soil 50% what do you think?Does that mean i won't have the moss look? (algae instead)can i get moss that grows rocks at the local pond/fountain? is that the same moss?

You really need to do nothing. Just don't disturb the material any further. The pricing is a little high in price, but could be in line depending on where you live. You can tell your wife, the mold was a bigger risk than any asbestos exposure. The mold can impact you immediately where any asbestos exposure takes 10-40 years. She is more likely to get hit by lightning than this exposure causing any problem.

I just got a Baby Leopard Gecko, and the pet store said the first time i spray him (with conditioned water) he might hiss. That was a surprise to me because. i didn‘t know you had to spray them.How much should you and when?Also I have a humidity thermometer thing in there that says (Desert) (Moderate) and (Rain forest) and goes from 0 to 100.What should the humidity be at?

Moist Boxes In order to help your gecko shed properly, it's important to make a moist box available at all times. Overly low levels of humidity can cause the skin to stick to the body instead of being properly removed. If this happens, you will have to help your gecko shed. Fortunately, moist boxes are simple to create. Just fill a hide box with vermiculite, coconut fiber or moss, and moisten it slightly. The dampness of the box's contents will aid in complete shedding and will keep your leopard gecko a lot healthier. An improper shed is dangerous, since skin can remain on the toes and around the eyes, cutting off circulation as it ages. This is one of the most common ways that leopard geckos lose toes. The good news is that if you see toe caps remaining on your gecko, you can mist or soak it to help with removal. Just make sure to be gentle. It's also a good idea to make sure that your gecko's water dish is shallow, but wide enough for it to fit in completely, in case it would prefer to soak. Mist your moist box from time to time in order to keep it damp enough to be effective. It should be damp, but not soaking. Although leopard geckos naturally live in a dry climate, they need moisture to shed old skin, and their natural burrows are quite damp. Mist young geckos routinely, especially if it looks like they're close to shedding. Once or twice a week will work well to help them do it completely in most cases.
