Question about a casing mix
    #5354542 - 03/01/06 06:59 PM (18 years, 1 month ago)

I was poking around home depot today, looking for "jiffy mix", I found something similar called "promix", it too contains Canadian peat, verm, and some kind of lime or calcium carbonate to adjust the pH. Though stupid me, I didn't realize there was a little perlite in the mix, will that cause problems for me if I try to use that as a casing mix? Also, I have read that you do not sterilize jiffy mix, would the same apply to this? How should I prep it, should I pasteurize? Use it right out of the bag?

Sorry if I sound like a total newb, it's just that, I am :grin: :lol:.

No problem but I would either sterilize or pasturize for sure! It would be quite foolish not to and wouldn't make any mycosense besides! :wink:

No. A casing layer is not needed UNDER a casing.

The reason why I asked was because I thought I read that some people use a bottom casing layer with grains.
