How do I sterilize the virm and soil for casing? I have virmiculite, perlite, and potting soil, what are some suggestions of the mixtures and layers I should use to case? Any help appreciated.

Bake the verm in the oven at around 250 degrees for a little while. Don't use perlite in your casings, and I'm not sure what tek you are using but why do you have top soil?

Use straight verm or a 50/50 mix of verm and coir. Check this out for information on casing.

What do you bring to the table?

Straight verm casing is pretty common. I've heard bad things about the Wizard guide... :/

Dry verm in a bowl
Add water till moist
Spread on top of substrate

:thumbup:

I suggest adding coco coir (found in pet stores as reptile bedding and comes in a very hard bricks).

You can do a bottom layer if you want. Some do some dont. I dont.
