Look, Cletus; coir is a bulk substrate, you don't use it to case unless you like wasting money. You should mix peat moss with your vermiculite. Peat is a valid casing. You can just buy jiffy mix if you want, it's pre-ph balanced peat/verm 50/50 casing mix. Just make sure you don't get the 50/50 perlite/peat mixture. You can always add some lime to regular sphagnum peat moss, but I like the lazy bags(jiffy). They're cheaper than perlite, and 1 bag will case at least 5 monotubs.
