At that point I’d just use coco if you don’t want to check with local landscape suppliers.I said it's not required, but added the percentage to use if you did want to add it. It's all up to you if you want to use it or not. Once the substrate has a certain level of dampness you won't really ever need to touch it if you put everything in there right. Maybe a few squirts every 4 weeks or so. I use wash bottles to saturate the substrate. A wash bottle is those squeezy bottles with a nozzle that tattooers use.</blockquote>
