Miracle Gro Sphagnum peat moss
    #21843068 - 06/22/15 07:49 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Did I get the right type of sphagnum moss? Im using it to case a 4/1 coir-verm substrate. It says on the bag "enriched with nutrients"

FUUCK

Does that mean it's useless as a casing because it has nutrition?

Casings having to be non nutritional is so 1990s we use coir, vermiculite, and other such nutritional things as casings for cubes these days. All a casing does is improve moisture retention, evaporation, and pinning surface.

Cubes are simple keep it that way. Nearly everything works with cubes

Meh.  Molds or most mushrooms won't germinate on coir, and nothing will germinate on vermiculite, so I'd hesitate to call them nutritious.

All sorts of mold grows on verm if it's wet. As for germination I bet it would germ on coir if it were over field capacity.

God, it's so tempting to threadjack and argue this with you right here.

OP, I wouldn't use that Miracle Grow bullshit.  Put it in a Monsanto executive's gas tank.  :grin:

Tons of people use the miracle grow peat moss. It's already PH balanced so you don't have to add hydrated lime.

How is it then that contaminants can grab coir? It seems as though this couldn't be the case if spores can not germinate.

The thing is, I've left coir in a bucket for months with no mold or noticeable bacteria.  So have many others.  PW kept a bag of it in his fridge for like a year and a half.  It's probably two years now, because I hear he hates cleaning out his fridge.  I don't think the contaminants DO grab the coir.  It's the grain or the mycelium itself trichoderma grabs.
