Yes you can, but it's hard to tell when the verm is wet enough. It's easier with peat and EASIEST with Coir.

Either use the 50/50 peat/verm with ph buffer

or

60/40 coir/verm

The bottom casing layer is not required, but you can use one if you want. People seem to be split down the middle as to whether a bottom casing layer is beneficial or harmful. Some believe the bottom casing layer helps to collect moisture and stop contams, others believe the bottom casig layer will increase your chance for contams.

I personally do not use a bottom casing layer, because I have been just as successful WITHOUT one as I have been WITH one. I figure why waste my casing material if it has no effect on my yield.

It's just, K.
