Picked up a tub fulla alfalfa hay at a garage sale...
    #18785227 - 09/01/13 01:07 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I just wanted the tub, but now I have a bunch of alfalfa hay I dunno what to do with.  At first I thought, "I'll use it in bulk grows!"  Then I used the search function.  Seems it contaminates easily in bulk because it's too nutritious.  I blended some of it up into a powder, and I think I'll supplement my next batch of BRF cakes with the powder.  I also thought I might try growing oyster mushrooms on the hay straight up (packed in jars, moistened, and PC'd).  Another idea was to try a sclerotia producer on it, in the same way I'd do the oysters.  Would spores germinate and mycelium spread on pure sterilized hay?  I think I'm off to find out.  If yall got any other ideas, let me know.

I'd hit it.

I heard you don't want hay want straw, and it should never be alfalfa. But I'm a noob so could be wrong

Also, you don't want straw sterilized, you want too pasteurize it.yes spores will grow on sterile,  but contamination  will grow faster.pasteurizing keeps bacteria that fights contamination there so you have a better chance at a flush.sorry typing on phone
