I'm not knocking him, I just gave the recipe for it in the post that was right below this one. I'm just having some fun 
Just didn't feel like putting the recipe in 2 back to back posts

kwikness said: Common casing mix = 50% vermiculite, 50% peat moss, and a dash of lime, which is used to raise the PH of your casing mix. How much lime to use depends on what kind of lime you have, and how much mix you're making.
Some people use coir coir instead of the peat moss
Hey Kyle. Kwikness has already answered your question. There is really no tek, per se. Mix it up, cover with water, nuke it for 10 minutes, and give it the squeeze test. Couldn't get any simpler. With coco coir, you don't even need the PH buffer. You can find bags of peat moss in the lawn & garden section of any department store. It will be with the potting soil and such.

Hey HC,
How exactly do you "sift" your peat? I made a big bag of mix just today. My method of refining my peat...SUCKS!! I put it into a tub (Kinda like a dish washing tub) and fill it up with water, then pour it into a pillow case and drain (to get rid of some of the dirt) then I dump the pillow case back into the empty tub and sit bent over my bathtub slowly picking through it for sticks and breaking up the clump of peat (Did you picture a monkey picking fleas off of another monkey? cause that's what I feel like when I'm doing it...don't ask LOL) ...it takes forever and I've been trying to figure out a better way.
Do you maybe dry out the peat first so you can work with it easier?

I sift it , dry, with a collander. I dumped my HUGE bag of peat into a big rubbermaid . Then I scoop it into a collander and sift it into a 5 gallon painters bucket. I don't like all that wood and large chunks in mine. It makes a royal mess , but I'm real happy with the results
