Substrate Question

[MikeM670]

I am installing a substrate of LECA topped with a fiberglass window screen. I plan on using the AGB Mix for planting but wonder if I should put a layer of coco fibers on top of the screen prior to adding the AGB Mix?

I would put the husk, just cause it holds moisture and allows a little air to roots. I've heard soil can spoil in vivs sometimes, maybe husk helps that not happen as often.

At work--- nice....personal prob, numerous injuries, woke up with arm asleap. Oooow. Takes while to get circulation, steaming I phone and frog talk helps. Good therapy. LOL.

I know it's hard to say something back from a bummer like that. U r the first I told, sorry. Anywho....., I live up in Indian head country wi, a lot of fables here. Becodes my son loving frogs, frogs are a healing and rebirth animal in native culture. Also suppse to bring good water energy to house. Just a little Indian mystisism, there was alot I can't remember.

Not really. With the closing of the Com ED Nuke plant the tax base took a huge hit. So things are pretty stagnant.
