jar substrate more compact after pc..too much?s
    #12579904 - 05/17/10 03:45 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

I did my pf cakes exactly as the directions said. substrate was packed in jars loose and was moist but not too wet. i put a top pf layer of verm on almost to the top. took jars outta pc and theres now about a half inch gap between the mix and jar lid. The lid itself has holes for innoc and a breather, thers a tyvek layer on top.Aldso 2 pieces of foil were put around prior to pc. did i do something wrong..they were pcd for 90min cause i have 12psi. the only thing i can think of is maybe water got through the tyek..and my foil was even banded around.

1. read the rules buddy, and then don't bump your own thread before 24 hours...thats the rules. someone will respond                                                                2. thems the breaks. Thats what happens. not packing your substrate is why. Next time fill the jar to the very top, and then tap it on the counter until it falls enough to get the verm as thick as you want. I know they saydon't pack it, but you have to pack it a little or it falls.

emphasis on pack it a little.
you still want to see some air pockets, it shouldnt be packed solid.
i would place a magazine on the counter to tamp it down on as well.
