Absolutely!!,....I was thinking about me not mentioning about the fertilizer additives earlier too!. A DEFINITE avoid situation!!



BTW,....yes,.the eggs are FARRRR too burried!. Just put a little dimpled "cradle" in the vermiculite to nestle each egg into then push it around a bit if needed so that most of the egg is exposed. I have a feeling that your medium is probably way too wet too. The idea is to add the water a tiny bit at a time while mixing it, so that it JUST barely clumps together in one wad when you squeeze it together, NOT so much that you see water dripping out when you squeeze it.



Add some more dry vermiculite if this is the case until it barely mashes together and stays that way without falling apart. The LAST thing you want to do is drown the things before they even get going!..LOL!
