sheep manure question

hey everyone, im new obviously and im looking into growing mushrooms very soon. im trying to come up with the best way to grow as many boomers as i can with the space (shotgun terrarium) i have.
i was thinking about bulk sheep manure grow but i have any idea. I know it will take longer but if I inoculate a dozen jars then place them all in a tray on top of 1/2 inch of manure, and put an inch of pasteurized manure on top of the cakes, then a casing layer on top. would the myc grow into the manure making a solid system for more fruit to grow on and more per flush.
i can get very old sheep manure that is the same texture as soil but very nutritional. i feel if this is possible, it would be a good method for stronger fruiting even if it takes a bit longer for the myc to colonize the manure.
what do you think?

Yes thats layering a bulk substrate. But you're definition of calling that a casing is wrong which i pointed out in you're other thread.
If you are going to do a monotub approach i suggest reading through the following teks to get a better feel and understanding of the procedure (which is pretty easy actually) You will need to pasteurize you're sheep manure and preferable mix it with a good moisture retainer such as coir vermiculite or perlite.

thanks alot man, that thread taught me alot about pasteurizing. today im gunna pick up that sheep manure from the farm i used to work at. maybe ill grab enough to try a outdoor grow to.
the manure should be very good after its pasteurized its decomposed sheep manure and hay thats been sitting there for well over 4 years in certain piles.
i would start this project but i need a credit card to order spores or a syringe. to bad you cant get spore prints for 90 days or whatever i would really appreciate a print.
thanks again for pointing me to those threads man, i really appreciate it.

No problem, to help is what we are here for. I don't know where you are from but you might be able to use the free spore rings. Google them. Or try trading from a well known user if you have no other option. But try to use Shroomery vendors first

i looked at the free spore ring, and its just edible mushrooms which i have no interest in. what would people trade for a spore print here. i dont have anything other then nice sheep manure i can trade (i could send a good bag of it in a box). do you know anyone i could get a print from?

We have a marketplace, but i do not know if you can access that already. Perhaps someone is kind enough to respond to your message. I myself have nothing to trade at the moment. did you try Azarius?

got 83 days left till i can go to the marketplace. If i had a card i would order spores from one of the sponsors but sending cash is kinda sketchy. if you hear anyone wanting to get rid of a print to a nooby I would greatly appreciate it... even if i have to send a box of sheep manure ill do that for a print.

Since 1996. They'll also throw in a freebie if you mention you are a member of the Shroomery community. Same goes with Sporeworks. If you want quality genetics from a reputable dealer, go to Ralphsters or Sporeworks. Both will throw in freebies if you mention you are a member of the Shroomery community.

Do keep in mind that it can take quite sometime before you're order is processed and that the quality of the prints may vary.
That being said i've used it myself and am very positive about them.
