Is lime recommended for bulk substrates anymore?
    #9045076 - 10/07/08 09:24 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

I know RR used to advice lime in bulk substrates like pasteurized straw.  I lime necessary anymore or do we want to keep a acidic environment?

Don't lime bulk substrates.  It's used optionally in the lime bath method of pasteurization for straw, and is quite effective at preventing trich outbreaks before the straw is fully colonized.  Don't use it in manure or coir, etc.
