I’m gonna come right out and say it. I don’t like coconut coir. I have not had luck starting seeds in it. It’s too coarse or something. Peat is much better.
This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.
