Thanks for the tips! How much size does a brick of coir expand to so I can calculate my 1:3 ratio of spawn:substrate? !7 or 18 PF jars is 4 1/2 quarts of spawn. So I have 1+ gallon of spawn. So then I will spawn this 1+ gallon to 1 gallon of poo, 1 gallon of verm, and one brick of coir (which equals how much?)
Assuming it expands to a gallon that is a 1:3 mix. So prob not as good of an idea to throw in the second gallon of poo then, correct?
Also these 17 or 18 PF jars all added up equal 4 1/2 quarts, but I didnt think to consider how much less than half pints they are in actuality because they all have a top layer of verm...
