Verm as a caseing layer
    #5535910 - 04/19/06 10:47 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Ok, i have 5 pints of WBS I want to case.... that is the only thing about wbs, you basically have to case it.... well i was thinking since i am still new to caseing and i am NOT going back to cakes, if i used an unsterlised top / bottom layer of verm do you think that my tex. go in that? or should i sterlise it?

second i am going to try 60/40 one more time and maybe pick up some jiffy mix to mix it up a little.

One last thing, has anyone done a DT w/ coir instead of hpoo?

Ahh the power of straight jiffy mix...

I like jiffy mix too  :thumbup:
Bird seed doesn't really make a good fruiting sub. I cased wbs in jiffy mix once, and ended up spawning it to :poop:
Bird seed is good for spawn, rice is good for fruiting (cased is much better than cakes, imo)
And verm casing is hard to manage, but the coarse stuff is a little easier.
Simple solution, use jiffy mix  :grin:
I add a little hydrated lime, it aborts less.

Verm works great for a casing layer... Only drawback i have found is you have to clean your mushrooms pretty good to get the verm off of  the stems.
Ive heard jiffy mix works good, but the PH is still a little off.

Crushed oyster is good, but it is a long term buffer. It will take longer to neutralize the peat, and hold it longer. Where hydrated lime is a short term buffer, it will immediately neutralize and lose it's effect shortly thereafter.
I used both the first time, but I don't keep a casing around long enough to worry about it.

peace
