How long does casing last in the jar?
    #6023290 - 09/02/06 08:53 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

I am about to prepare a casing layer for my popcorn and was wondering how long before does it take for a 50/50 peat verm mix last for if its kept in a jar before it drys out and cant be used?

Is it a completely sealed jar? If so they can last a very long time.

I've noticed they get to stinking pretty bad after a week. I would make up fresh each time you case.

Hmm.....I have had jars last months with no problems. 50/50+ mix in completely sealed jars, after 90 min sterilization in a PC.

If you've used them after months, they've been sterilized, not pasteurized.
