Not long ago I thought I would try an experiment by using 100% Perlite as my medium. I did not really think it would work but I thought I would give it a try. Well a day or so ago I looked at it and sure enough, there it was, my first little Perlite baby. So who knows, it may work out to be a good thing. We will see. Here is the tray with my own design. I have two plastic trays the same size. I have one with holes in it and the other one without holes. I sit the one with holes in the other one with 4 bottle caps in between the two trays. This way I can water and water and never have to worry about them having cold wet feet. If the bottom tray gets too much water in it, I just remove the top tray and pour the water out.
