ORGANIC COW MANURE COMPOST FERTILIZER
    #6703998 - 03/23/07 06:31 PM (17 years, 4 hours ago)

Hello family.


I have a question.


I use to think ( way back in the day) that all shrooms came for cow manure in the wild.

I was suprised when I learn the truth.

So my question is,

can you use "ORGANIC COW MANURE COMPOST FERTILIZER"

as a casing layer ?

basically, could you break up your cakes, then put some on top of it and thats it?

or do you need more stuff.

i don't want to post a link because it's not a sponser and i don't want to break any rules.

here is a description though if it helps.

Sold in 5lb bags, we are selling this non-burning organic composted cow manure. Made in VERMONT and cured for over 6 months, this compost is a great top dressing for house plants or small gardens because it will improve your existing soil structure when mixed with your present soil.



NO SEWAGE OR MUNICIPAL SLUDGE

MATURE COMPOST

HOLDS MOISTURE & SOIL ORGANISMS

GREAT FOR MULCH

ADDS ORGANIC MATTER & NUTRIENTS

GREAT FOR SANDY OR CLAY SOILS




Minimum Guaranteed Analysis:

Nitrogen (N) 0.5%

Available Phosphate (P2O5) 0.3%
Soluble Potash (K2) 0.5%
Organic Matter 50%




is there anything else in there that would hurt my shroomys?

I'm new to casing and I know when I cased I had two bags of diffrent things. "Catalyst" and "Casing Layer"

Manure is a substrate material and not suitable for casing. Bagged composted cow manure is available in 40 lb bags at any hometown nursery so don't waste your money getting a 5 lb bag mailed to you from somebody that simply gets a $4 bag at the nursery and divides it up.

I've used it many times as part of my substrate mix. It should be mixed with something to fluff it up such as coir, verm, or horse manure because composted cow manure can tend to pack down, which makes it hard for the mycelium to colonize.
