Once I found it wasn't cost effective to use the plastic media, I abandoned the project.  It's tucked away in a box in the basement!

Hey Rob, wanted to check in and see how your extruded plastic was working as a media? Is it holding up? How are the plants liking it?

even with the roots having the aversion to growing in the all plastic medium maybe it could be mixed with other media or even layered. would sure cut down on GB weight and media cost to fill them. i so applaud your ingenuity

and fab skills brother. the knurling on the roller face is top shelf work. im in florida where limestone is king and hardrocks are expensive (to me they are) not to mention tough to handle even for those folk still in good health. alternative lightweight media would be such a blessing to the community plus. the recycling factor is also a major want.

 

you sir now have a groupie and i intend to follow your research and testing of alternative media. much thanks and respects , johnny

Very innovative.  You are certainly one who thinks and plays outside the box :-)
