pre-preparing casing mix
    #5882033 - 07/20/06 05:11 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

hey everybody. ive been lurking around here reading and learning for a while now but this is my frist post. anyways im getting ready to start my first go at growing. i havent quite gotten everything yet but i was thinkin about getting a headstart on my casing mix so i could have it done and not have to screw around with it later. i was thinking i could go ahead and mix up some vermiculite and peatmoss and throw it in the oven to sterilize/dry. id leave it in long enough to get all the moisture out and then put it in some giant ziploc bags. that way i could make a bunch and have enough for a couple casings and all id have to do was add some water to it when i needed it. what do you guys think about this

Bad idea. Casing should be mixed up fresh just before use.

People need to bear in mind, when I give a suggestion like that, it doesn't mean doing something different is guaranteed to fail, but it means that for best results do as suggested. Casing mixes should be pasteurized, and that means they need to be used right away. Some growers sterilize casing mix which gives longer shelf life, but also medeocre performance compared to pasteurization.
