bulk question
    #9694087 - 01/28/09 01:10 PM (15 years, 2 months ago)

1most of the teks said to use hay and manure together, do i have to use manure, or can i just use hay?

2And when the hay is done being pasturized are u suppose to dump it in a tub and throw some colonized grain on it?

3 If using spawn bags, can the bags be filled up with the pasturized hay, than colonized grain thrown on top of that, seal the bag, and shake? will that work?
thanks guys :wink:

1.  straw, not hay, hay if full of seed that will contam your grows.  but yes, straw alone can produce some monsters.

2. layer it.

3. dont shake.  layer

He'll tell you:
-How to pasteurize straw
-Spawn to straw in a laundry basket
-Spawn to straw in a grow bag

He explains it very well and in detail, so i won't waste time trying to capture what he already has.

I use hay, hay is actually full of more nuts than straw. But straw retains water better.

1. you don't have to use manure and straw together, but if you are using cow manure you will need to mix it with a fluffer like straw or verm to avoid the muddy mess that cow manure creates.

2. RR has a very good tek for preparing straw in bulk. I believe it involves washing the straw, soaking it, and then pasteurizing it. But the answer to your question is essentially yes, once the substrate has cooled you can throw grain on it and expect to see colonization.

3. I use a version of this technique but with manure, throw it in spawn bags, pasteurize, add some colonized grain and tie up the bag and let it colonize. Obviously you need a filter patch on your bags to do this. Also, make sure you are using approximately a 1:3 spawn ratio, since the substrate is only being pasteurized and not sterilized you want it to give the myc a strong fighting chance to colonize the substrate before any contams take hold.
