Shredding forest-moss
    #21723419 - 05/26/15 02:31 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

HI all,

I'm trying to fruit some Ps. Mexicana trays and in a need for casing material.
Unfortunately, Peat moss is absolutely impossible to get where I'm located,
so I bought this overpriced forest-moss in a pet shop, used for decorating frogs' terrariums.

It looks kinda like this:

I mixed it up with verm, hydrated it, added the required Ph buffers per RR's recipe and pasteurised it.

The Mycelium took over pretty easily and now the trays are in the terrarium for about a week, with no sign of pins. (humidity & FAE are good)

So my questions are:

1. Are those trays lost? should I keep waiting for them to pin? Should I salvage them somehow?

2. Should I grind the rest of the remaining casing to powder? Will it be somewhat similar to peat moss if I do?

3. Is there no equal or near equal substitute for peat moss on this planet?

Thanks

I'll try to take some, if it will help.

Any ideas about the moss questions?
