First time casing!!
    #5549151 - 04/23/06 08:57 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I was reading the casing 101 tek and it was talking about a thin layer of dry vermiculite on the bottome then the spawn then a casing layer.  How important is the layer of vermiculite??? I have heard both good and bad things about it and want to know what I should do becasue im going to case my grain jars for the first time tomorrow.  Thanks  :crazy2: :mushroom2: :crazy2:

I added an 1/2 or so to my bottom, dohno but I dont think it hurts, helps to keep it moist like a reservoir...

It has pros and cons. It is good for a reservoir like snag said, but it also can get contaminated pretty easily.

it would be dry when you put it down put the spawn would get it wet. Im just not going to put the layer down.
