32 quarts?
    #11739636 - 12/29/09 08:19 PM (15 years, 21 days ago)

A milk crate is 13" x 13" x 11" or 1859 cubic inches.

A quart is 57.75 cubic inches.

The recommended spawn to straw ratio is 1:10.

1859/57.75 = 32 quarts.

Really?  No... really?  I have to be confused somewhere.  I was reading the Visions Laundry basket tek and he uses 4 quarts for a laundry basket.  I know they're not the same dimensions but what gives?

Correct, The internal volume of the milk crate is roughly 32 quarts.  Based on a spawn rate of 1:10, you'd want to use three quarts of grain spawn if you're filling it all the way up with straw.  Be sure to pack it really tight and leave a rock or something sitting on top to compress it during colonization.

I think I used about ten quarts of grain spawn in this laundry basket.
