Hi Erwin,.
I would frankly a photo also quite revealing, to get an impression of the substrate.
I find the photo of bag of Neudorff moderately meaningful...
I also do not understand what Neudohum substrate you take - the Orchid substrate?
Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hi Stephan,.
in fact, he takes potting soil! Because I'd only in post # 14 instead of 16 ' times closer look must....
Ash on my head...
would like nevertheless to a photo...
Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello
have read your discussion of substrate. Have you ever heard of Akadama? It comes from Japan and is mined there in only a pit in very Japan. It is a clay granulate, which is Struckturstabil. If it is moist or wet, it can again decay into its individual pieces of inventory. You can shape a lump of clay. I know this sub main from the bonsai scene and used it for my numerous attempts to substrate in the tropical rhododendrons. There is only one catch, the 20 litre bag costs 25 euros. There is a rough and a fine mixture. There is also still a similar substrate used for sour bonsai loving soils, such as azaleas and hydrangeas. Am not so sure on the name, Kaguma or something like that, there are also two different grain sizes. Costs but just as much. The Akadama with Tuff and bark is 6. effects of ph value of Akadama mixed. If you regularly pots to grow because even Paphiopedilum in it, but because the bark was very fine, it must condense with the watch. A good drainage is important when the Akadama, as everywhere. Have have to experiment with substrates as there is no finished substrate mixtures for the tropical rhododendrons. You must acquire all by themselves and try, because you lose the one or the other plant ever. I have obtained many individual components via orchids Meyer, who unfortunately have no home and no one e-mail. Here the address:

This looks actually very structure stable for me. Could still imagine to mix in some perlite and Hygromull... all can do no harm.
Will the Earth for the next season times obtain me and test.

Hi Erwin,.

Thank you for the insightful photos!

The substrate looks indeed very good; loose and apparently tree stable by the many fibres.

Can you tell what it is made of?
Neudorf is silent off about it in the product description in detail - peat-free, by using pfanzlicher substances made from rapidly renewable...
I have already thought Hmmm, that they take no plastics; I mean so bark compost, wood chips, coconut fibre to recognize, but what for heaven's sake is humus concentrate??? Green waste composting?

It would be interesting to see how looks the substrate at the end of the season and whether it holds through more than a growing season. How it looks so?

How much does it cost to the 75-litre bag?

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello happyvireya,

Akadama is in fact extremely stable in structure.
I know it by dwarf shrimp lovers who use it as a substrate in the Aquarium. And there too (so in the water) it remains structure stable as a granulate allegedly for months. How this can be the case in a clay granules, is a mystery me.

The shrimp lovers take it because it will reduce the total hardness of Wasssers and has extremely good buffer properties; Dwarf cooking panels are with regard to fluctuating water values, namely very sensitive...
Stability and the buffer properties are also the main reasons for the good suitability as bonsai substrate.

It was shortly after the nuclear accident in the way the rumor about, that the pit where the Akadamalehm is produced was contaminated and it would therefore no longer supported. I whether that is true, do not know but.

Please find attached a few photos...
I bought the bag ahead of Fukushima in the bonsai-Zentrum Hannover (ca 13 euros for this 10-L bag, if I remember rightly), but I've not tried yet it for my shrimp.

Happy growing, Bernhard.

But the price made it differs very little from my cannabis Earth.

The Neudorf Earth costs just under 13 Euro 45 litre bag and my cannabis Earth costs about 15 € for 50 liters.

In this time looking for something on the Internet and found out that the 45 liter bag costs 8.90 euro, with the basic price per litre of EUR 0.20. Is actually not so expensive. According to which earth have you looked for Stephan? My here is the Neudohum potting soil which baumarkt should exist according to the Neudorff homepage in our toom.

I looked for Neudohum potting soil. I have also seen this with 8,90 €. I Orient myself mainly to eBay prices
And because costs 45 liter bag is 12.95 € da then but already shipping included

I Orient myself on the rack rate per litre substrate. Also, the Vesand is with me, because I will be going to the wholesale or refer everything directly at toom.

PS: Kommst du still out of the apartment Stephan? Focus on ebay prices

Hello experimental substrate friends,.

have obtained today times the said Neudohum from our local hardware store in 75 liter containers me. Was the same as free, and I have allowed two sacks. So I can really say from the price, I was actually pleasantly surprised. The bag 75 liter 7,99 Euros 11,99 Euro, 45 litre bag. Once home, immediately transported the bags in the greenhouse and the Earth mixed with perlite and Hygromull. Have an old grain shovel made of metal, which I use as the unit of measure for the mixing of the substrates. Have now 10 parts potting soil 1 part perlite and 1 part Hygromull mixed with the whole four times and the 75 L bag was almost empty. Now the mixed substrate rests first until Monday, so that the formaldehyde to escape, which begins the humidification of Hygromulls and which also still toxic effect on the plants themselves.

Hello
Would be interested even look like the results of these substrates.
I intended to make compost soil with Hornspähnen for my tubers. However I have for a long time my concerns that it too then condenses read here in the Forum now.
Therefore I wanted to know how it could be aussieht...vielleicht with the above substrates from the thread here is that Yes mix with the present substrate.

Greeting
Markus

Hello

so I'm also Neudohum planting Earth, mixed with perlite at a ratio of approximately 3:1. The result is a very airy substrate and I hope that also the tubers like it. Without admixture of perlite and after the waters can be very beautiful the Wasserhaltigkeit determine, however it occurred to me as a human being then very compacted and wet before - tubers I unfortunately could not ask - so everything still times from scratch and with perlite to mixed. So I like it now. looks really good...

Many greetings. Uwe

Hi mark,

because I have all the plants in the apartment I'll no longer be able to use Hornspäne, I did once and everything had to repot due to mold and stench of duration. May be that it goes better in the field.

Love greetings

Michael

I use exclusively coconut Earth with various additions, but now no earth gravel, perlite, vermiculite and charcoal and Seramis, mainly.

The coconut Earth advantage is that it is not so compact when casting like normal Earth, and then of course the advantage of volume. I now no longer have a palette full of bags, but a cardboard box with the blocks.

Also reluctant me than to use that contains peat plants friend Earth and thus contributing to the destruction of the marshes.

Greeting
Andreas

Neudohum potting soil but peat-free (I hope that the print is not lying) is that I watch too. It is recommended even by the NABU...

I even used Kokohum, so the Preß briquettes, however only as propagation, because absolutely nutrient-free. But to settle on mixing it with many other substrates and then the nutrient supply exclusively through fertilizer, too much Streß is me at my plant diversity. When I'm retired I can worry still about on the effort.

Many greetings, Uwe
