I've checked out several Seattle-area garden stores and I've never found powdered gypsum (only pellets.) I've reverted to simply collecting the free drywall braces at Home Depot and smashing them with a hammer.

Pellets are fine, they dissolve in your water. Or you can grind them.

Yea, I use the pelletized gypsum too. It's actually made from scraps of drywall.  I can see lots of white and brown paper in it.  It's the waste material from sheetrock factories.

Fascinating. My pellets don't seem to have paper, just a little bit of clay.
But gypsum is used for so many things in so many places that the garden bags are probably leftover something everywhere you find it.

Gypsum and Lime are used for 2 different things. Gypsums is an additive that is used in grains cakes and bulk even casings. All it is, is regular dry wall. Get drywall smash it up separate the paper and grind it into a powder. Lime is used to buffer casings to a Base/alkaline PH to help fend off mold.

Gypsum is also used to help keep grains from sticking it also aids in the development of the fruitbodies



how do rgs cakes work out for you, well?  and i mean spawning as cakes not to bulk.

  I doubt seriously that a rye grass seed cake would fruit unless you ground it to a flour and mixed with verm.

i know it is hard to believe being in such a heavy populated area it is so hard to find the garden gypsum. I found the name of a manufacturer and went to their website to find local suppliers. There is a place 20 mins away that is listed on their site. I am hoping they carry the garden gypsum, if not i guess dry wall will have to suffice. Thanks

Why should the drywall have to "suffice"?
It's the same thing and its FREE. All this time you've been looking and you could have it without paying for it.

Drywall IS great :thumbup: and scraps are free at Home Depot. I agree with you. It's just a pain in the ass to pulverize it.

I bought a bag at the local mom and pop hardware store. I got 20lbs. Thats a lot of gypsum with you figure a pinch per quart jar. I would call around again rather than going from place to place it will save you gas and time.
