Title: Top Soil/Verm mixture
Post by: Baphom3t on August 19, 2007, 12:40:49 PM
I took your advice Anno
and tried a topsoil/verm layer on a tray that caught the green and moved it outside.
I must say,it worked out quite well.
I just thought I'd share that.
I dont think I will use Coir as a casing anymore.
Thanks Anno :)

It does work well, doesn't it?  Did you use any calc carb (limestone flour) with it?
p4p

no
I just eyeballed the ratio.
But i'd guess the ratio would be around 70/30, soil/verm.It might have been a little more.

A couple days ago I got around 100 grams wet off of it.My lazy ass forgot to grab a pic of them  :rolleyes:

I'm gonna keep the rest of my coir for bulk  :mellow:

I finally found a place in FW (2 hrs away) that carried the coir and drove there to pick me some up .  Called first to confirm they carried it and had some and was told yes.  Drove up there that day, got there, no coir! The who I spoke to on the phone said, "Ah dude, the truck should be here any minute, we figured he'd get here before you, blah, blah, blah."
Boy was I pissed!!!  4 hrs on the road for notta, zilch, zero!  Decided I don't need it anymore unless I try some tek that adamantly calls for it.
