Composted Manure and Grass?
    #22012629 - 07/28/15 11:00 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I've had a few successful grows using a a basic coir/verm substrate and now I'm ready to experiment with new materials. I picked up some composted manure, because it's cheap and readily available. I know hpoo is probably better and just as readily available, but I didn't have to knock on a stranger's door to get the CM.

I've had the CM sitting out to dry in the sun for a few days. I also mowed and added some grass clippings to it that I'll let dry out for another day. I figure the grass will help fluff up the CM which can get compacted, and it's also cheap and readily available.

Once everything dries, I'm planning to load the CM and GC mix in a 5 gal bucket and mix in the rest of the sub. Assuming I fill an entire bucket, I'm thinking 8 cups of castings and gypsum and then coffee only when I'm ready to pasteurize it, properly of course.

I have a bunch of coir and verm I could use to expand the volume, but I'm most likely not going to use that all right away and wonder about it's shelf life. Doing that would also defeat the purpose of adding grass to it.

So that's my plan to venture out beyond coir and verm with a cheap and effective sub that should also be able to support dung lovers like pan cyans. I'm pretty optimistic about it, but I'm totally prepared to be shown some gaping flaw in my logic.

Went to a local farm in search of field aged manure but the guy gave me a bunch of stuff from the stable he had piled up out back. Gonna sun dry that too and mix it with the rest of the CM I got
