Maybe someday those shops will emigrate to the EU.

Not here unfortunately, if that is what you mean. To be honest I still have to ask the local lab and chemical supply place to see if they have it. It was the same way with lime, you just can't find it in my country at agri shops but then they told me they have it. You have to ask them with its chemical name though, that's the only way you know for sure what they are giving you is what you want. I doubt they stock it though as gypsum has less uses in labs than lime does but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I have gone to every major supermarket in search for gypsum and lime, after which I started looking at specialized garden shops and co-ops. It was after I gave up that I asked the chemical guys if they stock any type of calcium. Folks here don't even know what lime and gypsum are as a garden supplement. My country's bedrock is completely made out of limestone so calcium is never lacking in fields.

Agri business is not what it used to be as well, most of the fields aren't being worked anymore. I went to this shop where they sell wheat flour, nuts, semolina etc in bulk and they said that back in the day, they had almost every type of common grain in stock. Nowadays they don't even stock whole wheat. Rye is impossible to find. The only grains we get here are the ones sold for horses and companies only import black and white oats and whole and cracked corn so there is very little variety. Then there is WBS, millet etc from pet stores but thin hulled grains aren't as comfortable to work with IME.

I have never seen gypsum in a garden shop either, have emailed a good few too, with the name and chemical name.

I can get it on ebay but shipping is really high. It is used in homebrewing but usually sold in 100g small tubs for high prices. I am going to ask some if they can get in bigger bags for me.

I have seen bigger bags on sale which had cheap shipping to the US, but not for me.

I would prefer the brewing stuff as I know there will be no additives and would be more comfortable using it for the likes of sclerotia.

The UK is also the cheapest country for US shipping. Whenever I buy something from the US, the UK is the first place in the EU they land in.

SFD's are also suprisingly difficult to find. There are no EU sponsors that stock them and the only vendor I know who sells them is a non-sponsor in the UK and they are almost as expensive as shipping them from the US.

I bought a pack of 100SFDs from ebay from korea but since they are not made for mycology, they are less than a paper thick. I use them but I don't expect much from them. Hopefully they will not be the cause of a shitload of grief.

Well this would explain why I haven't been able to find it yet. I just walk in the store and ask someone at the counter.

They are always like "Gypsum? Uhhhhhhhh.... No. Sorry"


Im with you man gypsum ain't easy to come across sometimes.

You know how you never want to pick through the stems in the bottom of your pot bag so you shake it up and tear off the corner to get that shake? Same concept applies here. IMO it's better than not having it. Also its great for the soak. It will just break up anyway.

If you're using it for fertilizer well, you will need a lot anyway.

:leocheers:

You cant order it online for some reason?


--------------------
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 stopped using it altogether, breaking drywall with a hammer is stupid. Sure it helps but you can still get good yields without it. I would prefer using it but I'm not desperate enough to break out the hammer anymore. Or break more appliances for that matter :rofl:.

Shipping it is expensive, a 20ish euro or someting sack of gypsum would cost me 50ish euro to ship from overseas.
