50% peat
50% vermiculite.

the peat needs to be sifted and the woody material needs to be removed.
after it's sifted the peat needs to be pH adjusted and buffered.
so...

keep the peat and verm separate, but in equal amounts.
for every cup of dry sifted peat you have, add the following:
1 level teaspoon of hydrated lime
1 level tablespoon of garden gypsum.

mix the dry sifted peat, hydrated lime and gypsum dry.
mix well.
then add water to the adjusted peat until you get field capacity.
then hydrate the vermiculite.
then mix them together.

there, perfect 50/50 casing mix.

don't forget to pasteurize it.
