potting soil casting?
    #18904383 - 09/28/13 08:25 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I always use straw to fruit my shroom. But i  was reading that i need to case it. can i use potting soil. Whats the point of the casing. Will i get more then just lawnclippeings or straw alone.

I assume you are doing cubes in which a casing layer is not needed:thumbup:. if that doesnt dissuade you then I'll let you in on some info, casing layers should be non-nutritive meaning that it should have very little to no nutrients. That being said a good casing layer is peat moss and verm 50/50, you should also make the paet moss slightly basic with lime.

Go check out FH 50/50 Jiffy mix, dirt was old school, kinda like using Gelatin as agar...i'm still thinking about trying it! :lol: Use what's around ya!  I'd chop up my cheap forest moss before buying anything as a casing layer though.. :shrug:

punish the guilty, keep the innocent nervous

also if you use a casing layer with nutrients the mycelium will colonize it:shrug: but the jiffy tek will probably work:thumbup:

I don't remember where i got "Forrest moss has no nutrition" it may of been here, it may of been elsewhere.  I just know @ $10 for a brick it couldn't ever be worth just a casing.

It does have nutrition? Enough to matter? Could i mix it w/ Manure?
