it can compact the soil a bit though , so be wary of that and give the soil a good mix before planting up

totally, only used it for starting seeds in very small pots.

100 bro was just thinking that it all works just finessing to your situation is key

 

[shiva82]

if you were to use a heavy soil , and want drainage, large particles at the base. be it perlite , sharp sand or whatever anyone choose

 

[shiva82]

coco does hold alot of water but it also holds alot of oxygen. i use coco in the base of my auto pots , as it acts as a better wick that perlite but still holds enough oxygen

 

[shiva82]

different scenarios . we have to be open for different scenarios and use accordingly. multi use, with different goals and aims

I have done the same with ostrich

 

[shiva82]

another example would be , hempy buckets that have no drainage for example, and the substrate chosen has to be aerated ... use soil and it would become anaerobic and cause root rot , and you would have to ' drain ' it to recover .

 

[zaprjaques]

thats like passive hydro right? is it less prone to pests/?

horticultural sand is basically washed sharp sand. and 'sharp' just means irregular shape

A little sand trivia, I used to work at a sand pit . Sharp sand is just that , if you look at it with a loop its fractured and sharp . It’s like gold as far as sand goes because that’s what you need for asphalt, it packs and holds structure . All the other sand is rounded by water or wind ,that would be concrete construction or play sand . Any sand can be washed and free of small particles . I’m not sure but I would think that any washed sand would be ok for growing

If you use sharp sand, it protects against larves when its on the top of the soil.
