~shabang~'s Worm Casting Method

The mix that I recommend is basically nothing but castings and drainage. I used to cut it with all sorts of things, including soilless peat-based mixes like pro-mix.. but then you're introducing a source for pH problems-- especially when others try and duplicate it but can't find the right brands then substitute with a peat-mix that is too acidic. So down to the bare basics of a mix:

40% castings
30% perlite
30% vermiculite

this is the answer for a question that i asked in another {wrong} thread. newbyitis. thanks for a clear, simple answer.

MM, would this mix work with an ebb'n'flo hydro system?

Also, wouldn't one need to add supplemental nutes. like Fox Farms recommends supplements added to Big Bloom which is mostly worm and bat castings?
