LOL -- if someone wants to send me some free Hatchrite I'll be happy to give it promo plug here and there as well. Will stick a link on my web page and even be sure to have it inconspicuously placed in the background of several "candid" shots. LOL Will need about 20 bags for next season - thanks!

I guess the way I see it is that if it were "better" (like using a helix compared to wafer) then it might be worth the extra expense -- but as far as I can tell you're just paying for the convenience - which normally I'm all for - but it's just mixing substrate and water which isn't rocket science and I can get the kids to do for free .
