Re: Nursery equipment
I just saw your posting. It sounds like vermiculite - inert mineral, very
hydroscopic and light in weight. Aids propogation, drainage. Essential for
pot cultivation as one ingredient

> A relative of mine has recently purchased a bankrupt tree nursery in this
area. Among the installations, there appears to be some sort of apparatus
for rooting cuttings which consists of large galvanized trays about 20 cm
deep filled with some substance that I donŽt know and a system for watering
it all from above. The stuff in the trays is white, very light and very
dusty pebble-sized chunks of whatever. Can someone inform me about this and
its use based on this limited description.
