Quick casing ?
    #5311024 - 02/17/06 04:39 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I am going to case my jars with probably a 60/40 peat/vermic. and I was wondering if I need to have that mixture for the bottom of the casing... or will plain vermiculite be fine to case the bottom

Either or will work. You don't actually need a bottom layer. In fact some people will advise against it, as the moistness down there is a good environment for contams to thrive, and you won't even know that the contams are forming down there.

60/40 is a coir ratio bro go with 50/50+ instead. Yes straight verm on the bottom.

I like to use the botom layer and not for the added moisture but as a toilet. Myc pisses and it's good to have a place for it to run off to. I hear some say the casing layer on the bottom can cause contams, nope, only mold and bacteria spores are gonna do that. No mold or bacteria spores and it can be as wet as it want to be.

Besides what sounds better, sitting on a wet layer of verm, or soaking in myc piss after a week or so?

afoaf never uses a bottom layer, and has been completely fine from here on out.

I very rarely use a bottom layer either. This tek was developed in the beginning as an absorbant for improper water delivery (over-watering) FYI.
