We also run a basement farm with oysters, but using straw and coffee grounds. We make own spawn on barley from spores. As you can see, we couldn't make up our mind what size, shape and filter type should the bags have. :eek:

We switched too recently to rehydrating straw with lime water instead of soaking, so we better control moisture content. For coffee grounds, we simply mix it with lime, gypsum and spawn, and add dry pellets to absorb excess moisture.





Nice! What's your spawn to straw ratio, those look like some big clusters!? I'm curious about your choice of using filter bags, did you get a awesome deal on them to make it cost effective versus poly tubing? I've seen some major operations (the San Fran guy) who uses solely filter bags but I assumed he bought in bulk to make it worth while.





Thanks, should we make a basement farm photos thread :wink:
We used 25% spawn rate. Coffee grounds and pellet are much less voluminous than straw for the same weight, that's why the clusters looks big compared to the bags. We use PP bags with tyvek (from a painting suit) filter we make ourselves , it's very cheap (about 5-10 cent the bag), we mostly use it when sterilizing substrate in pressure cooker. We also use bags with polyfill and bags with punched holes. So far, each solution has pro and cons, now we try to perfect punched holes bags.
