Hey everyone i need a bit of help i bought some nortene kiwi moss and some perlite do i have to wet the moss or can it crumble because is kinda hard in a brick form at the moment any ideas ?
If you have some 1/4" aluminum screen you can rake the compressed dry material across it and get it shredded into small pieces without wetting it. I do this with handfulls of compressed coir that I break off my 5 cu ft bale. I like blending media dry as well. Just be sure you pull your shirt over your nose and mouth or wear a respirator cos you don't want this stuff in your mucus membranes.
its a brick of dried compressed Sphagnum..
looks like its only available in the UK..
"Nortene" is the company name.
"kiwi" is some kind of made-up brand name, (perhaps it comes from Australia?)
the next word, (that ILMP forgot to add, thus creating much confusion ) is "sphagnum"..
then the last word is "moss"..
Nortene Kiwi Sphagnum moss
the first two words are meaningless..
its just regular old Sphagnum..which is good.
