I believe Rupert (RupertofOz) grew some corn in his media bed with success. Nice to hear you're trying it, Dr. George. I'm thinking that will be a project of mine.

I just purchased 2" Blue scoreboard from Marjam for 36.12 per sheet. Already scored for easy breaking into 16 or 24" rafts

Also, in media based systems, corn has been known to do well.
Oh, and in reading the posts, seems like I made a major typo back in April on the price of DOW blue board. Price I paid was $42.28 not $2.28.

Jordan
I have some cut pieces (2x3) of blue boad in the Tampa area.
