Hi all, after finding that Coir/Vermic mix seems to be drying out too quickly I changed 2 of my T's to a top soil/vermic mixture, which I didn't sterilise.
2 days after the change I noticed 2 small patches of what looked like white cotton (a mould or fungus of some sort I imagine?) in the tanks, and the soil mix wasn't exactly waterlogged!
I've since taken the mix out and microwaved to see if this will remedy the problem.
Any advice on prevention of growths, or indeed what the white cotton like substance is?
And if microwaving subs how long would you recommend heating it for?
Ventilation in both tanks is good, so I don't think that is the problem.
