Casing Question
    #5658050 - 05/21/06 08:56 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I looked all over and could not find an answer to my question. I was at the store and found a mix for starting seeds that consisted of 50-60% peat, horticultural vermiculite, and lime (which it said is for balancing the Ph). (The reason I do not mention the brand is because it is available only local to my area.) I kept on looking and found other soil mixes that were similar to this with some slight variations. I was wondering if anybody has had success using anything like this as a casing layer, and if so which ones. I would assume that it would work but I can also see the obvious advantage of mixing your own in that you know exactly what is in it. Any input would be appreciated.

50/50 is a peat based casing mix ratio FYI. Coir based ratio would be best at 60/40 or 70/30 verm/coir.
