okay....so back to the matter of bulk substrates and casings.....? I found some stuff that may be of interest at the hardware store yesterday. i was looking for potential bulk substrates and found a compost mix that the ingredients were: aged and processed hardwood bark and sawdust, composted animal manures, dried poultry waste, and feather meal. Would this be a good bulk substrate if i mixed in something like straw or vermiculite or something of the like to give it a little more body/air space? I can't remember the brand of it, but it was all organic, looked like good stuff...

Trichodcerma spp. is not helpful to plants. I have written the two links you posted to inform them of this. Normal coir should not be significantly contaminated with trich, nor would I think that anyone would waste their time adding it to coir. Trich is a parasitic fungus and would not be terribly easy to culture.

Sounds okay to me, but I don't really know much about composts. I would be sure to do as you suggest, and add some vermiculite to keep it nice and airy. It would probably help it retain moisture as well. Give it a shot.

FastFred. I really don't want to come off as a dick, but just a little research shows that you're way, way off on this one. Below are some more links to some more sites that sure seem to be pretty in the know on this subject. More than me anyway. Read them if you want, but they say pretty clearly that trich is good for plant growth.

Grapevine Trich -X- Fourth paragraph under "Coir" -X- Science Daily -X- Agricultural Uses -X- Potting Mix Beats Fungicides -X- Rutopia+ M

So, I guess my point is that there is trichoderma in your coir. Pasteurize it, or sterilize it... or else.

I wish Blutjagger would comment on this topic since he regularly uses Coir in his bulk substrates.

Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the links.
