My first try at a casing. Just tell me if you think it'll work, offer some suggestions, whatever.

5 cups vermiculite
5 cups peat moss
5 cups water
3 cups garden lime
2.5 cups coral sand (says 100% calcium carbonate)

right now the pH is hopping around between 7-8

If you think I should just go ahead and scrap the whole mix just let me know I wont be offended, you'll be saving me time and jars.

3 cups of garden lime sounds an awful lot, thats hydrated lime right? calcium oxide CaO? you have enough calcium carbonate already.
Are you sure the ph is only 7-8? try reading again after 24hrs. 7-8 is what you should aim for, at 8 green mould will not grow well at all.

If it is above 8.5 after 24hrs then just add more mixture without the lime.

no garden lime isnt really as harsh as hydrated lime. It's alot more coarse so its less reactive. Its about the consistency of .5-1mm pellets
