Exactly. I don't use it anymore because I broke every single appliance trying to grind it down but the thing that lasted most was a coffee grinder, blenders have sharp edges so they tend to dig in too much and get stuck.

You should try agricultural shops for gypsum, that's usually where they can be found for a decent price. No one sells it where I'm from because all the bedrock here is limestone so fields have all the calcium they need. If that fails you might want to try chemical supply shops, they might have it under the name "calcium sulfate". I still have to try asking them but that's where I buy lime from so it's possible they stock it as well.

I'm thinking thats exactly the case for me as well.. and considering sheet rock is so readily available to me (my friends all work construction) haha I figure it'll be my best bet.
thanks for the quick reply guys going to my buddies to pick up a scrap sheet just now!

Good luck, you're gonna need it. Breaking gypsum boards by hand is long and shitty work.

Don't think you can offer to sell something that can be bought from the site sponsors.

Also I've seen many department stores have it in gardening. Or yes, get it online. Soo much better then grinding your own from drywall. No need for that shit.

Shipping costs probably. For me it would definitely be more money than it's worth since you can still have good results without it. There are no mycological shops in my country so I would have to ship it from overseas which would be costly, even from the closest countries.

typed amazon gypsum in google: http://www.amazon.com/Baker-and-Crosby-67-0L6S-SI8Z-Gypsum/dp/B0064OGEZG

If you cannot use amazon, break off pieces of drywall, put them in a pastic bag and smash them with a hammer. Pick out the non gypsum pieces and voila. Ive used this many times.


--------------------
An old man and his grandson are sitting by the fire outside the tepee, wrapped in furs and gazing into the leaping flames. High on a snowy ridge, a wolf howls at the moon and another answers from far away. Soon after, the old man removes the pipe from his mouth.

‘Grandson,’ he says. ‘There are two wolves inside you. One is white and the other is black.’
‘What are they doing there, Grandfather?’ asks the wide-eyed boy.
‘They are fighting each other,’ says the old man.
The boy considers this, then asks, ‘Why are they white and black?’
‘The white one is your love, your peace and your truth. The black one is your fear, your anger and your lies.’

The fire crackles and sparks flare in the night. The wolf on the ridge howls again and the old man puffs contentedly on his pipe. Finally, the boy says, ‘Which one will win, Grandfather?’

‘Ah,’ says the old man, removing the pipe once more. ‘The one that wins is the one that you feed.’

I used it once and promised myself I would never try it again. It felt like trying to kill an ant with a needle. Kept ending up with big chunks of gypsum and the stuff you could call powder was still not an actual powder. It takes too fucking long as well.

What I need is a big ass, heavy duty coffee grinder. That would take care of the gypsum problem forever.

I broke 1 coffee grinder and 2 food processors. My first blender didn't last a single batch because it kept getting stuck since it's so sharp. Then I got this ridiculously tiny coffee grinder and surprisingly, it lasted like 10 batches before the plastic holding the blade melted and came off the motor. Then I had this other food processor lying around (wasn't even mine tbh) and I grinded down the blade to make it dull but it still didn't last long.

If I ever find a coffee grinder that has the motor shaft, gears and blade assembly made of steel I would definitely buy it. I reckon that will last a good enough time to make it worth buying.

By the way if anyone is interested, you can get free drywall gypsum at Lowe's go to the Lumber department and tell a sales associate (not a manager) that you need a drywall kicker, a drywall kicker is what the drywall at Lowes sits on. they throw them away. Oh by the way to break up drywall kickers wrap them in a plastic shopping bag and run back and forth across them with your car, it won't powder them but it softens them up.

Maybe a rolling pin or rolling pin substitute instead of using a hammer? Curious if the stuff at garden stores called "garden gypsum" works? Does it have added shit in it like Miracle Grow perlite has? That really sucked when I opened the bag and saw crap in my perlite. Used it in my garden so no waste at least. Do hydro stores usually stock it? Could get my gypsum and coir both and there is one close by.

Maybe your work buddies also have a cement /grout mixer.  Wet drywall is easy to remove paper and break up. Then bag and dry it out on some plywood scrap

I used to grind down the paper with the gypsum, unless it came off easy. Still mycelium food.

I don't understand then, where did you search for gypsum if not in gardening and agri shops?

every ACE Hardware I've been to has gypsum, coir, and vermiculite. They also tend to have the proper pf-tek jars, taboot.
