Bulk casing tools question 68 bags
    #23838781 - 11/16/16 01:08 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ok so I have 68 bags that are almost ready to be cased. Previously I've made casing by just mixing it in a tub by hand and squeezing excess water out by hand. But this won't be practical for the amount i need to make here. I could see this taking two days by hand. Any bulk growers out there that have any tools ideas or techniques for getting large amounts of casing to field capacity? Thanks. I'm picturing making a kind of press from 2x4s with a screen and hinges etc.

Bulk grows are my favorite, while i use a monotub for mine, i always case then apply the water till at field capacity to let it soak downwards any excess water. Though this is harder cause you may have to eye it unless you have a $50 or so hydrometer for soil. With 68 bags i would say put your casing when ready to fruit and water the casing till visibly moist but NO sign of puddling, misting bottles are good. Hope this is helpful.

:whathesaid: That's the ticket, a cement mixer is also good and great for mixing sub too.
If you can;t get a hold of any of that just mix it with a shovel in a large tote and bring it to field capacity by adding water slowly and adding more material if necessary so you don't have to squeeze it out.
What kind of casing are you using and are you going to be placing your bags right into fruiting from the casing?

50/50 plus. 10% gypsum 10% calcium carbonate and 5% oyster shell per part of peat moss. I always just have oversaturated then squeezed out water in the past
