too much contam risk?
    #12561977 - 05/14/10 01:39 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

ok so this is gonna be my first time cultivating and im wondering , i've read alot of info and if i wanna stay on board with the pf method and makethe cakes and all that; but before fruiting, (not roughly) break the cakes up and spread over a screen  about 2 inches thickover but very close (1/2 inch max) a bed of verm or some semi moist sub. i would have all nessesary humidity controls and temp regs
the verm on the bottom i would just bake.i havent really thought this totally through obviously ,but i know that the care and ness. attention will've been put into it.i know its like a bulk but i think it would work in a tub say 2'wide 5 long 2 deep i hope  this isnt a stupid idea

Look into the info on casing procedure.

All I can say is.......Why?  That's it, just why?  You have all the materials you need.  Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Get your first time under your belt before you "experiment" (loose term).

break ur cakes up inside of a fresh ziplock baggie then mix with leached and pastuerized horse manure in a tray. scrap that screen over verm idea or whatever, bottom casing is pointless.

well why should i just place unbroken cakes on verm? it seems to me that by expanding the surface area i can provide more fruiting and possibly a sustainable crop

You're right that increasing and leveling the surface area can be helpful - this is usually done by making a casing.
