Would this make a suitable casing?
    #9085238 - 10/16/08 05:26 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Hey everyone would the following make an ok casing layer?

5 parts course vermiculite.
1 parts perlite
2 part water gel (water retentive gel polymer found in garden stores)
A pinch of hydrated lime

The verm and the water gel polymer would retain moisture.
The 1 part perlite would give the casing little airpockets and help with adding a bit of humidity, and as there is little it wouldnt really evapourate too much of the moisture.
And the lime would help a bit with the PH.
