Noob casing question
    #7619623 - 11/10/07 05:09 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I want to case WBS with "50/50+ Peat Moss, Vermiculite with Lime and Oyster Shell Flour." What is the average ratio of WBS to casing mix? 1q to 1q? Thanks in advance.

Casing depth is somewhat relative to the depth of your substrate but not entirely. I would use about 1/2" of casing, especialy since your substrate is probly gonna be pretty shallow. I dont know how deep people generaly suggest to lay a grain substrate. Since grain is low in water content I would assume people lay them pretty shallow so as to maximize the relative size of the casing water resevoir. Whatever you do, dont use a casing layer deeper than 1".

I really hope you're trying to case, not spawn WBS to peat. 1:4 or so is traditional; 1:1 is excessive.

The casing goes on top, it isn't mixed as if you were spawning the WBS to a substrate [which is nutritious. A casing layer is almost purely hydration, with slight ph balancing.]

One inch is about right, don't go over that.
