    How many of you reuse vermiculate (from substrate-less method)? How do you dry it out for storage, if you do?

    (trying a poll for the first time)

    Well, it didn't give me the poll form to fill out after I hit submit, so I will have to try again later.

    Well since im guessing your talking about in an egg box.. i have never reused vermiculite due to it not being very expensive and second usually it is not very clean after the eggs have hatched. Not saying it can not be saved just something i have not ever seen

    I would think that true sterilization would be needed and by the time you did that it would cost ten times the price in heat and time. It simply isn't worth the effort in money or environmentally speaking as the power needed would likely out weigh the initial foot print.
