Casing question ~ THX
    #5368611 - 03/05/06 08:57 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Can I use Verm/Peat Moss/Water mix for my casing ? If so, how much of each item should I use ? I am using WBS as sub, cant get my hands on coco coir and osyter shell, and need to case it today ! Any input are welcome ~ thanks a lot !

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.

Yea the 50/50 tek doesnt contain coir

its peat/verm

but peat needs to be ph buffered

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 !
