sterilizing casing mix
    #5488691 - 04/07/06 01:27 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

im gonna be buying a casing mix from mediummania.com, the 50/50+ peat verm lime mix, just because its cheap enough that id rather not have to drive all aroudn looking for it, mix it in the right proportions and all that. plus i cant find vermiculite. SO... i have a 23 quart pressure cooker, so i can sterilize the mix myself, but how woul di do that...in the bag that it comes in from MediummaniA? because i could buy the sterilized version or the filter patch bags of it but i have a PC so i would rather just spend an hour or so PCing then spend an extra whatever $for the presterilized stuff.

so basically, how would i sterilize it my own, would it be worth it ,or should i buy it presterilized.

You should not sterilize a casing mix. If you make it totally sterile, it will very likely contaminate before or just after first flush. You should pasteurize casing material, not sterilize it.

It's very easy to use your PC to pasteurize in quart jars. Load your field capacity casing material or compost/manure into quart jars and place in the PC. Fill with COLD water 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up the jars. Cover and turn on the stove. Do not place the weight on your pc. Leave the vent open. Allow the water to come to a boil where you can feel steam escaping from the vent hole. Allow steam to escape for five minutes, but no longer. Shut off the stove and leave the PC alone for two hours. At that time, you can remove the jars and they'll be just right. I've used this tek for years, and the interior of the jars will reach 150F for an hour, but never exceed 170F.

The first few casings I did I nuked the casing mix in the microwave for 5 or so minutes, lately I haven't even been doing that. Just mixing verm and coir together right here in my (carpeted, not extremly sterile) room and use it right away after its been mixed. I have yet to have a casing contam...
Knock on wood for that one...

Hey RR, one of the few times I tend to disagree with ya.

I use Ryche's 50/50+ formula and follow his friends advice of sterilizing. I tried this on my last 7 five pound poo casings and all have made it to their fourth flushes as we speak. I also like it because I can PC them just like they were food, rubber gasket side of the lid down. That way I can store them and not worry about anything getting in there. Just take one off the shelf , pop the top and use as needed.

I just pulled this off one of the fourth flushes



some second and third flushes



Haven't seen any contams yet :thumbup:

Ha,Ha :wink:

I'm just stating what works for me, at least right now. It all could change in the future. :grin:

Just decided if I was going to try Ryche's TEK, I'd follow it verbatim to start :thumbup:

Right on. It appears to work both ways, I like that you can pc it and store it for later if you like though. Ill have to try that later on down the road.

Damn Hubby. I'm surprised he got any of the mushroom.lol.

I was a little leery about completely sterilizing my mix at first, but it seems to be working quite well. :grin:

Tell ya though, 50/50+ blows coir/verm away :thumbup:
Pin sets are so much better also. Layer doesn't overly colonize



This one I just decided not to case



can't wait to see what it does :grin:
