Valdus,
Check post 12, 15, 17, 21 on the thread......answers are there in detail....
1) The use of sand.....****Keyword*****AERATION!......I use pool filter silica coarse sand....It is not regular sand.....Pool filter silica coarse sand grits are bigger than regular/normal sand, therefore allows more oxygen to go to the corm, roots, etc.....Or you can use any type of "soilless mix" (sphagnum peat moss, rice hulls, coarse sand, perlite, etc.).....Also, weevils, nematodes hates any "soilless mix".....
2) The use of bleach......to sterilize the corm, plant or transplanting hole.....has been used in commercial plantations for years!.....
Hopefully it helps!......
