How much manure to add to Damion50/50's Coir Tek?
    #15934351 - 03/11/12 05:49 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Been using Damion50/50's Coir Tek; 1 brick of Eco-Earth coir, 4.5qt water, 1.5qt verm, and 1/2 cup Gypsum. I'm wanting to add manure to the mix, but how much should I add? How should I alter the recipe to accommodate the extra ingredient (manure)?

You can vary any ratios you want but if you add manure to Damions tek then you will have to properly pasteurize

I can't just pasteurize the manure while the coir is pasteurizing? Or what?

Damions coir tek isn't true pasteurization and adding horse manure will require true pasteurization

What exactly is 'true' pasteurizing?

True pasteurization is 140 to 160 F for one hr.

The substrate I like to use has equal parts coir and horse manure ... that is the majority of it ..say, 80%.  Then 15% vermiculite and 5% gypsum.

I don't get precise at all.  Working with a 5 gallon bucket to mix in, I fill it with equal parts coir and manure up to about 40% of the bucket ... then throw in some big hand fulls of vermiculite and some smaller hand fulls of gypsum .. total comes up to 1/2 the bucket (what I need for a 70 qt. tub) ... mix it all up ... ready to pasteurize.

not rocket science.
