Can you start seeds in Floral Block? The green stuff that they use in

I am having a hard time finding a
medium for seed in my Aero Garden and I am too cheep to buy there
stuff. I have tried regular foam (off foam paint brushes), cotton
balls, another foam product that didn't hold enough water. I am trying
the block but I wondered if anyone else had done this. Thanks

Should have mentioned that Aero Gardens are hydroponic
Here come the pot jokes

I used to do Aero Garden, but I've been decluttering, and getting rid of
them was very helpful.

I understand your problem. The stuff to hold the seed has to hold
together in the little hole and not fall into the water, yet it has to
permit growth.

BUT I had great luck using Aerogardens just for their lights. Have you
considered using just that part of them? They're good grow lights.
