    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have read a lot, and i mean a lot, of things about whether or not use use perlite and or vermiculite. Everyone seems to have alot of different answers. I'm just looking for any straight forward answers on which is better. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
 
Both are basically interchangeable. Vermiculite, however, absorbs more water while retaining certain nutrients.

Perlite absorbs less water and is better for aeration and drainage.

For eggs, I use vermiculite & squeeze out the excess water. Perlite seems to dry out too quickly.

:iagree:

When I was dealing with eggs, I also used vermiculite. I tried perlite, but didn't like the way it was working for me.

But to each there own.
