Don't know about another way, but, I used to be a hardcore DWC man, which is another option for media. I took a small part from the DWC buckets, although it was only they hydroton part, so I've been using it for a medium for a while now, but even it collects salts over time and becomes a problem just like coco. The reason I dumped coco as a medium is because my garden was ten inches higher than my next doors garden due to the amount of coco I dumped on it as a side effect of my indoor activities, so I moved onto hydorton, I get a couple of grows from it and then it done. I used to use rock wool, but it takes 10 years to break down in the soil, so I dumped that. Hydorton is where I am now, but getting rid of the Hydroton when its blown is as hard as dumping the rock wool, makes good paths though. 😁

Thanks, I read that about the Hydroton when I considered adding it to my autopot grow way back when. It can catch alot of salts.
I have a raised bed veg garden out back but it's got plenty of soil/peat/perlite lol.

The more I have thought about the reuse and cost it really makes no sense other than I was trying to do my part recycling.

I went 5 runs, or no it was 4 runs, then the "Salts" got me! I may go to 2 runs, re-buffer coco then 2 more before throwing the coco/perlite in my flower beds, Cheers and Happy rainy weekend from Coastal Texas. SS

It wasn't the salt that got me SS as everything was washed, rinsed, strained & rebuffered to .04ec before reuse.

It was the composition breakdown that left little to no room for oxygen and made it more like soil. I showed that in the video.

I'm pretty sure I also overworked the coco doing more damage?

You could have 17* & blowing a gale up here in the Northeast, wanna trade? 😀

She got the chop, chop, chop....she got the chop 😀

Twenty20 Avenue of the Giants has had enough...solid milk with some Amber's...she started her flower journey in a tote, got the scrog idea, threw her in the closet and here we are...
She turned out ok, a small win in the midst of the nightmare the last 3 months.
