soil to start my plants
 

Hi Ron. Yet another question... I'm starting some peas in the smaller 2 inch rock wool and am
wondering if i'm doing the right thing here. Should I maybe use soil to start my plants or use another
type medium? Thanks Ron Reece

You can go from rockwool to grow rocks. Just make sure your water level rises high enough to wet
the cubes until they grow new roots.
I primarily use vermiculite soaked with Olivia's Cloning Solution with almost a 100 percent success
rate for cuttings. I also use vermiculite for starting seeds. I sprinkle the seeds in a tray of Oliveras
soaked vermiculite with another thin layer to cover the seeds and when the plants are big enough to
transplant into your system I loosen the vermiculite around the roots with a spoon and rinse to
remove loose vermiculite before carefully putting grow rocks around the plant roots in the solo cups.
