Is this a good casing?
    #5540264 - 04/21/06 07:53 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Greetings,

I was going to go with a simple 50/50 verm/peat mix for a casing but I am interested if this may work better. I purchased "oyster shell flour" from this site, scroll all the way to the bottom

http://www.kkorchid.com/1medium_potting.asp

is it good to use as part of your casing?

Would this be a good mixture?

5 parts peat moss
5 parts vermiculite
1 part oyster shell flour

thanks

From what Ive read on this site, Oyster Shell Flour is exactly what you wanna add to your casings.
50/50+  Verm/Peat/Oystershell flour

Your suggested ratio will work just fine. GL
