Where to start, casing.

So i feel like im making this too complicated again. Im not sure what to do when it comes to casing layer. my mono is basically 100% colonized almost. and ive read around and found lots of things. Ive also found you dont even really need a casing layer. buuutt i want to increase yield and get the most out of my work. ive found 60/40 verm and coir. http://www.shroomery.org/55/60-40-Vermiculite-and-Coco-Coir-Casing-Tek
ive heard it works great if you do it right but if not it sucks ass.
perlite? http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6406785#6406785
Also have heard something with peat moss. i want to do the simplest one that will also do some advantage to my work.
im really confused

Franks 50/50 tek has greatly increased my yields and takes no more effort really than doing cakes imo

never use perlite
Perlite is nice in casing layers because it creates lots of air pockets near the mycelium which help to stimulate pinning. RR

What about this that I just picked up? Using franks tek?

If this will work for me then dope. But after I wanna get bulk materials for casing and mix them. Any ratios? The tek didn't have any

Jiffy organic seed starter. Moisten to field capacity & pasteurize. Simple as can be.

Don't use peat moss
It's nutrient filled and susceptable to trich contamination. It makes a better substrate than casing IMO
Plus it needs to be pasteurized to be used, just adding another vector for failure if not carried out properly
I'm not saying it doesn't work, just not efficient, cheap, or as clean as other alternatives.
