My new toy 

Sing it with me ~ "iisn't sheee luuuvlyy" 
Thought some of you might have wondered how much it would be to get one of these bad boys. Sorry if it's been posted earlier, I haven't checked every page.
It's an AA930 and holds 12 of the 1 litre home discovery mason jars. Them folks state side seem to be able to fit 14 jars in, so theirs must be a slightly different shape.
Still... here's the important stuff:
Cost $408.60 in total - approx £250. This included all the shipping etc.. BUT, I got damn lucky and didn't pay nowt at customs, still expecting a letter, but think I'm in the clear by now.
From http://www.unbeatablesale.com/ via international checkout.
Took about 3 weeks to arrive... which felt even longer... but she got here in the end 
Now, all I need is a name for her

Anyone have a supplier for Gypsum? 
EDIT:
Would this do?

EDIT2:
Meh. Its made for edible wine and it says its calcium sulphate so I ordered some!

YEah that'll work.
I stocked up and got it from http://shop.waiyeehong.com/food-ingredients/cooking-ingredients-condiments/flour-batter-breadcrumbs/gypsum-powder . They have a 6 quid shipping price though. I stocked up and some other stuff too and it made it worth it.
They're sold out atm though.

Just searched my old emails to find this: http://www.gardendirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_228&products_id=742
Not the cheapest but not bad either and they delivered quickly. Gypsum is a bitch to find, I'd forgotten!

Hi, I'm sure this has been linked already somewhere in this thread but this site looks really good for all kinds of stuff.
http://www.micro-science.co.uk/index.php
They've got the majority of the stuff you need for cultivating (mycology specialists) and most of it is half the price of the mycology link in the opening part of this thread.
Shipping is a flat-rate fiver in the UK as well

Hey Guys can any of you give me the heads up where to get some casing soil. I got verm and the oyster shell, but cant find peat moss anywhere local, well I can but its in a 50lt bag which I dont need.
Wanna case some pans in a few days, what will work?
I read in Stamets GMMC that you could do a 50/50 with verm/water crystals,I was in B and Q looking for miracle grow moisture control compost but alas none there. They had sphagnum peat moss, but this didnt look like what I'd need.
any ideas?

I got a huge bag of peat moss for 3 quid a while bag. I've only made one batch of casing and havent even used any yet Good think i got a shed. Got a big fuck off back of wheat bran in there too.
I remember someone say that cactus soil works well. Something about the sand or something.
I think faceyneck suggested it.

I've only ever found peat moss in those monster bags too, good thing I have a garage! It came from a local nursery, I find smaller stores tend to carry more oldschool stuff (gypsum, garden lime etc) and peat moss ain't politically correct anymore so I think larger chains don't carry it due to the bulk amount they'd have to stock.
*wanted to say PC instead of politically correct but thought I'd confuse all you sterilizers!
