i am attempting to grow my own edible mushrooms (much cheaper than the grocery store!) and the mushroom quot;cakequot; calls for 2 parts vermiculite, 1 part brown rice flour, and 1 part water to be mixed together in a bowl.... how would i do this? i am using a quarter pint jar... how would i know how much to mix if i were using a pint jar or half pint jar with a 2:1:1 ratio?thanks!
I can answer your question, but can't tell you anything about Venus Fly Traps (other than hard to grow and keep alive.) Vermiculite and perlite are different types of rocks that can be heated and pop like popcorn, producing what we see - light-weight pebbles. Because of that, although, technically they're different rocks, they serve the same purpose. If you can't find one, it's fine to use the other.
Vermiculite holds moisture and helps hold nutrients and perlite helps with drainage.
