Casing question
    #7936397 - 01/26/08 05:59 PM (16 years, 6 days ago)

Sorry for all the questions, just really trying to make sure all my shit's together.

If doing a monotub, say you're casing with just wet verm, would you want to layer 2-3 inches of colonized substrate with 1-2 inches of verm on top, or is it good to have verm below your substrate too? I mean, specifically monotubs.

1-2 inches is way to much. Try 1/4 - 1/2 inch

Why just vermiculite?




Because I'm lazy and broke and a lot of posts I've read said they do well even without any casing at all.

Vermiculite alone does and can work, although not the best. You don't need much and putting some on the bottom isn't a must but doesn't hurt either.
