Jiffy mix as casing layer.
    #5132724 - 01/02/06 07:40 PM (18 years, 2 months ago)

anybody ever used this stuff?

i just made 3 casings with this stuff.


if you dont know what it is, its 50/50 with a little lime added for ph.


Im wondering if anybody has any experience with this, and if so, how did it come out?

It works great. It's just a bit spendier than buying a block of peat and a big ol bag of verm. Sunshine mix #3 also works well. Don't forget to pasteurize.

Same stuff I use. Peat works great without verm and the whole mix is buffered with the lime.

This doesn't replace verm. I would say it would replace a 60/40 or 50/50 casing mix. It just makes it easier because you don't have to mix anything yourself.

It's not too heavy. It's actually loose and airy.

Hey, where can I find Jiffy-Mix. Is there any place on the internet because it's probably out of season for gardening supplies.
