Vermiculte with hpoo

Does anyone mix a small amount of vermiculite, say 10 to 20 percent to help hold in moisture, or would it suck moisturer out of the poo? would it be benificial to mix vermiculite with poo?
thanks

Coir makes your peat much fluffier and airy, allows casing to hold more water and get better air exchange.

Coir in a substrate helps to provide food the horse manure doesn't. It's part of a balanced diet. Verm is great mixed with everything mycological except straw. Used coffee grinds from your morning pot of coffee are also an excellent additive. Ditto for worm castings. A small amount of chicken manure is also beneficial but don't go over 5% by volume of the substrate. Put a combination of all together in your substrate and watch your mushies thank you for it.
