A few questions about starting an outdoor patch.

Been inactive with the hobby for about a year. Recently moved and have the space and freedom to jump back in. Already got some purple mystic and GT pastyplates goin from some prints member sent me years ago. Also had an old wbs spawn jar, at least a year old, with a few grains left in it colonized. They were super dry but figured I’d throw a couple to some plates. Sure enough they rebounded nicely and relatively clean for the circumstances.
Anyways, I have 5 acres of land behind my new house, and want to get something going outside for the first time. Currently reading through what I can find with the search function but wanna pick peoples brains and hope a TC or two pop in.

You ever throw your spent tubs into your compost pile and got fruits? Same concept

Not exactly... I’m thinking of spawning to the smaller sized kiddie pools.

How big do you want to go? You ould certainly make beds (sized to manage). I used to grow in multiple kiddie pools in my backyard and had more mush than I knew what to do with. Recently thought about repeating a mega-bulk since I live so close to horse farms again. Takes a LOT of friggin spawn, whih is your only hurdle really. Have you thought about scale?

Ah yes I was late on my reply. Yeah... kiddie pools (covered with plastic with pinholes during colonization) worked great. Had to rig up a piece of pvc over the center to create a crest to run rainwater off of so it didn't cave the plastic.

Right. Sorry. I forget we all live in different climates. I usually add spawn to my compost then apply to my garden and heavy mulch with straw. Never done the pool deal.
