More nutrients!
    #21782445 - 06/09/15 09:52 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So I've been making tubs with just coir/verm  - what else can I add to this mixture that will add more nutrients for the shrooms. Some Gypsum? Doesnt gypsum do exactly what verm does, retain water? How bout some coffee grounds, what kind do I want? What else? :laugh:

I would skip the cofee grounds.

Gypsum is great to add into coir/verm I always throw a big handfull though.

While coir can simply be heat treated (bucket tek for example) once you start adding other things in you will probably have to pasturize properly.

I add straw into my coir/verm/gyspum a lot. It has to be pasturized proper.

I cut up into 1-3 inch pieces, and soak in soms water and dish soap for a few hours or overnight. I drain, put into a bucket, Sometimes I toss a little lime in, then heat water up to about 180 degrees and pour in, cap with lid.
It has to be kept between 140 and 170 for an hour, so you have to keep a close eye in it and add more water if needed.


I add my straw jnto CVG at 30 % or so
