Media for the specific plant can be a problem. What works for Hostas doesn't necesarily work for orchids. I have a basic stove top recipe I'll try. The advanced recipes I have require way to many chemicals and are to complex. If the basic recipe doesn't work with more than minor tweeking I'll have at least tried. My youngest son is 16 and taking horticulture this year. I may be a good father and son project.

I taught him 240 volt wiring straight from the breaker box to wire in 40amp timers and the outlets. He can even take a 120volt leg of a 10/3 line to run the ventilation separately. All his work is up to code!

I don't have a digital camera but I'll try and borrow one. I'll try to start in a few weeks.
