Ferns and fungus are natural moist, shade loving companions...... they share an interesting similarity of both reproducing by spore. The fern was already holding court there and seemed to be a native grounding for the spot. It seems to be happier lately and even richer green with all the water, love and manure. Its a good disguise as well....the few people that see the bed out of flush think its seedbed for young (fern) sporelings..

Deva1,
2 quick questions...
1. How was the floor of the bed created? Are the bricks you can see coming out from the sides part of a larger bed on the ground? I can't tell from the angles of the pics...
I'm wondering about drainage here, and if one can lay a bed directly on a grassy area or if it'd best to place it on a bed of something else first (pea gravel...)
2. Is that green mold growing on the wood planks of the fence above the bed? If so, that's pretty cool that you pulled that off so amazingly right under a patch of green mold! The bed looks reat after two flushes, Congrats!
Thanks for your time and help,
JD

Jeremy -
Just made a separate extension today on the raised bed for a new batch of EQ spawn. Here's what I did for the beds - In the front of the bed I built the bricks off an existing cobblestone edge. You could just as easily use brick(s) or cinderblock, rock, board ect. for a border edge. The soil is mostly clay so I just excavated all soil till 2 inches below the brick. Then I broke up the bottom clay (the floor of the bed) so it would drain and added around and inch of horse manure/shavings on top. Then I layered with spawn, straw, wormcasings, manure again....then repeat until around a 6" substrate is formed. You want good drainage, laying it on top of any decent soil, gravel or sand would be fine. I would remove or flip grass over from an area, because it will readily grow into your rich moist bed if left there. My bed is nicely shaded under an ancient Pecan tree, so it stays fairly moist, thus the mold on the back fence. I believe if you create a balanced healthy enviroment, your crops are naturally resistant to pathogen and pest invaders, so I havent had any problems with animals or insects. The mushrooms hardly even attract slugs and snails even when the DE has washed away! If you live in a drier area close to a faucet you can bury a soaker hose in the substrate hooked up to a battery powered timer for automatic irrigation. Water well every few days and the bed takes care of itself from this point- Glad to help, good luck

Truly impressive! Hopefully the weather will let you continue with more flushes- from the sheer amount of spawn/nutrients you used I imagine it will keep going as long as the temperature allows it!

JD - heres a pic of the newest EQ bed. You can see it coming off the left of the Golden Teacher bed. The Fern kind of devides the new equadors from the teachers. The teachers are again mounting a good run - 30 oz. total yield from the second flush-

great to see your able to duplicate the results with another strain. May I ask what the cost was to start this endeavor? After visiting a nursery down the street that has everything I am think about attempting the same. Total cost for one bed? If you broke down cost for each material I would be very thankful!!!
ps.- how was the potency?

Hey Bunny-
Well I haven't duplicated the Golden teacher results yet.......as the EQ bed was just planted a week ago. I keep ya posted though! Both beds took about the same ingredients. Bricks were free from my yard for the bed edge.
For the rest-
Soaker hose (optional)was 6 bucks.
1 mini bale of straw from michaels was 4,
2 40lb. bags worm castings @ 6 - I get em from a wholesale nursery
Horse manure was free from the stables
2 bags vermiculite @ 4 each
6 qt of WBS spawn???
plenty of luv!
So each bed runs about $25.00, without a hose or inoculation costs. Not a bad deal for the output of such an endeavor- Potency was right up there with indoor grown batches I've tried. If your climate is still warm enough - go for it!

Update: The teacher bed has been dormant after the third flush except for the occassional fruit here and there. The new equador project should be breaking ground any day here. Its been about 23 days since spawning......so I will update when things start
