Hi, this darn site isn't working well for me recently - could be the site itself, or my glitchy off-grid internet, or a combo of both that my current monsoonal stormy weather affects. It has taken me an hour to attempt to get this posted.
I will post a complete rundown off all results with pictures later this summer, hopefully the site issues are over by then. I have had a few successes and failures. I was out digging/sifting more sand last week, experimenting with some that is 3 - 6 mm nearly identical to coarse perlite. I can say quickly, I have a nice little 3" tall A'ea'e, from my tiny "chunk-o-nuthin" nub!
I also unfortunately have three new A'ea'e nubs, from a large one I recently bought off E-bay, took 10 days to get here, got very beat up, and arrived completely rotted. OUCH!
I hope the Hurricane didn't cause any issues with Puerto Rico? From what I saw you guys missed the main part?
