Casing please help
    #8058210 - 02/22/08 08:17 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

so guys basically i cant get any form of coco coir or peat moss, ass i can get is ordinary spagnum moss

Can i cake with just verm, or say verm and shredded paper towels?? Can anyone suggest a decent thing to case wth other than stated above

If i dont have to case with just verm will the flushes be as big or as good as with 50/50?

Or would i just be better to dunk and roll the cakes and no bother with casing?

Cheers :thumbup:

I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find peat moss. i.e. Walmart, Lowes, etc. I've never done PF Tek, but I do believe "Dunk and Roll" just uses vermiculite as a casing layer.

You can try using Miracle Grow: Moisture Control, ive had good experiences with this pre-mixed casing media.

If not, you can just dunk and roll the cakes in vermiculite.

okies i could try that and i dont live in the united states, and wat about just casing with vermiculite coz it takes u less room than cakes i find as the mushooms grow straight up mostly and u get higher yields surely?

Where do you live? If you can find vermiculite, you should be able to find peat moss. You may just be looking in the wrong places. Anyway, you can case with straight verm. However, it wont work as well as it would if it were mixed with peat, or even coir.

For casings vermiculite works but theres a lot of things that suck with it also. I would use it though if I had nothing else. Trust me, they have vermiculite. Keep Searching.
