Went out this morning and measured the results from test #1 which contained the potting mix,

mushroom mix and vermiculite with a couple handfuls of black cow I had sitting in the paint tray.

top flotation was 1/2 cup and the bottom settling contained the finer granules with vermiculite

had 1 1/2 cups.

Test #2 had the mushroom compost. it had all settled to the bottom with no recognizable

____________

Started test #3 with the potting mix with 2 1/2 cups in test bottle.

Already seen flotation come to the top. Will let that settle until tonight.

checked test three @ 15:30 hrs

Top flotation test #3: 1 1/4 cup

bottom sediment: 1/4 cup fine particles

That 2 1/2 cups to start was dry mix.

______________

Looks like elimination of the mushroom compost black cow is a must do.
