How many water crystals for RR's casing mix?
    #15248718 - 10/19/11 06:28 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

RR talks about the use of Terra sorb water crystals here,

*Terra-Sorb Terra-Sorb is a "water crystal" made from a synthetic polymer related to super glue. This brand is made from potassium and there are others made from sodium. The crystals can absorb 400 times their weight in water, and then release it slowly back into their surroundings. They have been tested and shown to be non-toxic and environmentally benign. They have been used in mushroom cultivation and shown to not incorporate themselves into the fruit at all. Over time they will just break down to carbon dioxide and water. They drastically reduce the need for misting a casing and in some instances will eliminate the need all together depending on the fruiting chamber. Just looking for anyone's experience first hand with this product. It is not a secret that it works or exists and given it's ability I would think many others before me would have tried it. TERRA SORB WATER CRYSTALS

I would like to reduce the need for misting in casings, has anyone experimented with terra sorb? RR, how much would you recommend?

oh wow, good to know. I shall do more research on it then. Nonetheless, terra sorb water crystals are effective for gardening I imagine they may also work to keep a casing hydrated. though this may cause a potential problem by not allowing the casing to dry at all to initiate pinning
