Homemade media for tissue culture

Hi, I'm kinda new here, would like to ask if there are any homemade media for tissue culture that actually works, or we could start the homemade media thread

Aaron Hicks's site lists a couple of homebrew recipes. Realistically, Kevin Western's media is cheap enough and reliable enough that you might find DIY media isn't as economical as you'd think.

Andrew has mentioned Kev Western, he supplies two types, liquid type for a shaker set up and a semi liquid for manual use.

He puts out a very good product in 1 litre packs for home use.

Best thing about him is you can always ring him for after sales questions like "KEVIN, WHERE DID I GO WRONG" lol
