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

not too likely, it's very dense. the

through that.

what seeds are you looking to start?

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

what is wrong with a mix of peat and
vermiculite?

both of these are available in mass
quantities. avoid breathing the dust
when mixing.

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.

Yes they are working great. I have put an Armarillis (sp) pot on the
side and it is doing great. I also have a pot with dirt within range
and seeds germinated overnight. Go figure
