you will want to use less water...in your brf/verm cakes

I suggest using this method....

http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek

rather than the pf tek...

since you have fine verm.


and do not pack the substrate into the jars...

gently put the substrate into the jars and lightly tamp it down...

or it will take a very long time to colonize them.

I been browsing around the site searching about vermiculite to use and i noticed that there isn't a very good explanation of coarseness.  I see people saying they use fine and works great while others say coarse.  It gets really confusing.  I made jar with vermiculite i saw on here to be said as good it was san-green brand.  What was never said about it was that there is two types of san-green verms.  There is the professional and there also is the horticultural.  I had acquired the horticultural type and learned the hard way (jars compacted on me). It is very very fine. As shown in the pictures below.  While at the garden store the guy offered me the a bag of verm that was considered medium grade which seemed also to be very close to sand. I ended up with the other type pictured below.  It seemed to make a very nice brf cake.  I was wondering can u tell me what coarseness the verm is considered.

here is what i ended up buying after terrible compacting problem with jars:

there is an answer to the grade of verm, it's in rr's notes thread.

the 2:1:1 pf tek recipe for 5 jars is with fine grade verm, not extra fine, not medium, and not course.

As the course gets bigger than fine then water content needs to be adjusted by 10-20%
