Can straw be steam sterilized?

Or would you have to PC a mixture of BRF and straw?

Has anyone tried replacing vermiculite in the PF tek with straw?

Usually, straw is used for bulk growing (as you know, you're not exactly a noob, are ya :smile: ), and pasteurized. I suppose it could also be sterilized, possibly even steam sterilized, though I suspect that PCing it is a safer way sterilize it.

I haven't tried replacing verm with straw in PF tek, but I think it could work, although I don't see the pros of straw vs. verm in this case very clearly. Perhaps there's a reason you want to try this?

I can see the benefits. Straw actually contains nutrients, unlike verm. If you can get the water content right, and if the jars don't dry out it might work. Interesting idea.

I have steamed it with success. And this was timothy hay and wheat straw, both worked fine steamed. I don't know about using it as a replacement for vermiculite, sounds like a good idea to me though.
