Cyclops Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Plastic 20/50ltr box with small quarter inch holes all over it, sides and bottom, and a pressure cleaner, cleans the balls in no time.The biggest hassle is finding the plastic box, I found one in a second hand yard.

D.R.S.D Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 hey refer i dont have any advice on cleaning the clay balls but what i do with mine is throw them into my vege garden and dig em through , re-cycyle them that way , ive only got a few hydro grows under my belt but for the price of them i transfer them to the vege garden mix em into soil and buy more and start again . I just cant bring myself to re-using them on the off chance they are contaminated with a pest or dieases of the like . I am in a situation where i can afford to buy new ones ( only because of my job ) each grow and u may not be able to for whatever the reason maybe , or just even dont want to . Cyclops idea sounds cool, and im sure theres heaps of ways to clean them if u want ,with the wealth of knowledge thats around here im sure youll find a way man . I dont clean or chuck them out i recycle them to a differant pasture ! food for thought anyway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
