50/50 tek.. you are going to need some kind of pH buffer however because peat isn't neutral and doesnt stay balanced.
if you desperately need to case it today i would probably go with just verm if you cant buffer your casing mix

I actually was wondering what I could use in place of coco coir. Seems none of the gardening stores have it. I have the vermiculite already.

Got a link to this tek? Do you pH balance with hydrated lime?

If using 50/50 tek, 1/2' verm at bottom, sub, then cover it with 50% verm and 50% peat moss mix ? Should I PC verm first before I lay it down at the bottom ? Should I add peat moss at all ( lot of different sayings ) ? THX ~~~ tyty !
