I wouldn't use 100% Coco Coir for a casing layer.

60/40 Verm and Coco Coir is about the most I'd use.

Find a source of Verm.

Yes you can in the bottom. You may even be able to use perlite in the bottom, or so I've been told.

Road, I think he was asking about the bottom layer there. But yes, if he doesn't have verm. for the bottom, I doubt he's got it for the casing layer either.

Sounds like verm isn't an option, so...

Skip the bottom layer, and just use coco straight on top. It's going to colonize aggressively, so be careful to initiate early (2 days in incubation max)

Just my .02, but it will work. As will straight peat, or straight verm.

you don't need a bottom casing layer!~

PERLITE on bottom isn't a good thing.

To much & water pools under it.

Does nada, except take up space.

Where did the SEXY avi go? Nice looking...... :tongue:

You know something pretty cool you can do with coir. Put a moistened layer around 1/2 inch on the bottom of your trays and then put your substrate in and then case it on top with casing of choice. After the casing pins and you harvest, you can then flip the casing over and you'll have a colonized coir layer ready to explode with fruit. Simply take a fork and dig into the overlaid coir layer around an 1/8 of an inch. Roughing it up pretty good. Even it up and give it a good shot of water to sustain a heavy flush and in a day or 2 it will start to pin out the ass! Fast flushes courtesy of my Uncle Buck's flapjack tek! Get'r done!!!!

Thanks Agar. I posted after I read somewhere about people using perlite on the bottom, but didn't get an ansewer. I post one of those pic's every now and then to see if anyone's paying attention. Not many are, lol.
Thanks again.

FLAPJACKS! One of my friends (not a foaf for once) tried that out with great success. The overlay was a bitch for a while but he got it going nicely.
