Few new tek idea's
    #17500877 - 01/05/13 08:39 AM (11 years, 4 months ago)

ok,
i have had a couple of ideas for cheap natural substitutes/alternatives.

1) white wood ash instead of calcium carbonate. It is sufficely  basic/alkali. It is natural and contains more nutritional elements than simple "lime".

2) charcoal layer for contamination proofing layer instead of vermiculite. Charcoal is carbon which will be pretty useless for bacteria if my ideas are correct. it will also absorb far less water from the cake or other, which will technically promote less possibility bacterial growth.

I am into self sufficiency, and spending less. These theories are not tested. Though they do seem apt. Especially "1)"....2) is just a cheap alternative for those who are not using vermiculite, or want to conserve it. DO YOU HAVE A FIRE??? I am trying these ideas now.

If you talking about powdered charcoal then i think gqs exchange will be much harder... Thats my call on this one.

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
Not an advanced mycology topic.

A search will reveal that wood ash is already known as a common pH buffer.

A search will also reveal many threads on using carbon or charcoal.
