My Eggs for 08

[mcvancleave]

thought about a garden supply and figured Lowes would have it and they say no. Might look around

well no vermiculite but i did find perlite. So do the same rules apply or should i just order me some vermiculite

I think home depot carries the vermiculite...and I think that perlite is the same pretty much although I remember reading somebody on here talking about some perlite having fertalizer or something in it...or maybe it was the other way around...hell I dont know, but anyways, i think they work the same way.

Good luck!

I am not sure either, but I've never really heard of anyone using Perlite in the lay boxes, just in the incubation containers (so you'll need it for that either way)...

what i was wondering for my incubator... Does the same 1 to 1 ratio apply?

 

[fallen_angel]

if you use vermiculite, it's 1:1, if you use perlite, it's .8:1

Albey's how to incubate page gives detailed instructions on how to do it perfectly. We fallowed her instructions and have produced 11 out of 12 fertile eggs
