Got Rockwool! Now what to do with it?

[ginnibug]

I got a bag of rockwool after reading an OLD article from my orchid mag collection. Was thinking of trying some catts in it, but was looking for some feedback from anybody with some ideas or experience. I am an underwaterer and grow lots of other stuff in moss with good results. So I'm hoping for a positive not a negative. ginnibug

I have read of it being mixed with perlite and leca but I have never used it or even seen it. Sounds interesting.

the article said you could pot catts up in the rockwool. Doesn't break down. Just wandering what all I can do with this stuff?????ginnibug

You could see how long it takes to dry before using.

Cut 3/4-1" cubes

I would not use too much of it because it holds lots of water.

I find broken clay pots to work great for Catts and such! Maybe mix the two!

I answered you on the Garden Web and am too lazy to retype it.
