Poo Ratio
    #5653157 - 05/20/06 12:13 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Okay, ive seen the ratio, 1 to 3 or 1 to 5.  But is that one part WBS to 3 parts poo?  Also, if wanted to do a monotub, I've read it doesnt need to be cased.  But I thought the casing helped with the humidity.  So if all one had was vermiculite, would that work?  Better than nothing?  or is it time to go buy some coir? or peat moss and do a 50/50 ?

Thanks  :smile:

Get some peat moss or coir (i like coir)... its worth it ($3 for a brick of coir?). Also, about a 1:4 to 1:6 ratio of spawn:compost should work, but keep in mind the higher the ratio, the longer the colonization (i try to stick to 1:4). Good luck!  :thumbup: :mushroom2:

Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely
This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace
And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do
Amen

You can spawn to coir, but I wouldn't case with it.

vermiculite will work.

It should be mixed with peat moss though. 50/50.

adjust the ph of the peat first, it is important.

I agree that coir is a substrate material, to be used only sparingly in casings, like 5%, and no more than 10%.

just my humble opinion.

So just verm casing is alright, but a little peat moss would be better? This is important for it to maintain humidity on its own correct? I guess the verm retains the water, and the peat moss is what gives off the humidity...
