Default Botanicare Ready Gro Aeration Medium
Anyone else have any experiences with botanicare ready gro aeration or moisture formula? Link: Botanicare : Product Overview : Grow Substrates

I'm using the aeration formula for a drip system with 2 tomato plants and 2 jalapeno plants and so far it's going great. Easy to transplant and very light. The boss of a local hydro shop I go to reccomended it, he had just gotten it in I think. It's basically coco coir with perlite, a tiny bit of organic compost (not much at all), and some silica clay or something. The moisture retention is alright (to were it's reccomended 4-6 waterings a day, but I can get away with 2 if I want), but I'd reccomend the moisture formula for less watering. Anyways, thought I'd see if anyone else has used it.

here's a pic (sorry it's huge)

yeah its good. I used it in my garden. works excelent. A lot of runoff though. I would definately recomment the Moisture Formula if you are going to water less often.

Yea I didn't know they had a moisture formula (the shop only had the aeration one). I'm going to get a different timer that can water it more often this weekend. I've been having it water while I'm at work and manually plugging it in 2-3 more times before and after to make sure it never gets too dry.
