verm just doesn't give that perfect micro climate that 50/50 does. from what i can tell at least with the verm i have it holds a lot of moisture but is too course and so don't have the bext humidity and is harder to colonize. ive used verm and dirt. im not sure if you can call that 50/50 but i found it worked better then straight verm. basically it seems it just filled up the sapces left by my coaser verm. if you are using poo you may want to search posts for wax paper. there was a post the other week. i know i'll be trying it next time. sorta acts like a case layer with non of the fus. obiously it doesn't hold water though so maybe a moit bottom layer of verm would do this idea well.

You can put a 1/2" layer of damp verm on the bottom, put your sub on top of that, and then , depending on the depth of your substrate, put anywhere from a 1/4" to a 1/2" of verm on top. Get your top layer damp, but not soaked 
Then treat it like a regular casing.
Good Luck

You can nuke it. Make sure it's wet before you nuke it.

actually many people do not even sterilize their substrate beucase it doesn't have nutes and your myc is at is most resilient. however many people do a quick sterilization in the microwave and some eople take no chances and PC it.

Get the verm to field capacity. Microwave it, nuke it, for 3 minutes, mix it up and nuke it again for another 3 minutes.
