I am so very careful.... what I do is take it out of the soil scoop it up put it in a bowl of water rinsert it oh so gently. .add it to the Rock wool... put it in the cup with the clay pellets. . Bada Boom Bada Bing ...it just works the best for me ....I really tried with soil.... because I figured it would be less maintenance.... but it's just so slow
