How to DISPOSE OLD MONOTUB SUBSTRATE?
    #26587476 - 04/08/20 09:45 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I always question on what the best way to dispose of finished mycelium and substrate is. I want to do it in a way that is practical and so no one will find it and get me in trouble. any suggestions on discrete ways of disposing old monotub substrate?

I've read of people mixing substrates with water in a five gallon bucket and flushing that shit down a toilet.

:shrug:

Mix with dirt and leaves then throw away in a garbage bag?

Compost bins, pretty large sized compost bins

I have 6 of these in my backyard




You can just build them though for cheaper , like so






Never heard of people flushing subs, thats a new one for me! :lol:
Sounds plausible unless you are working with serious bulk then it just seems like a major pain in the ass and huge waste of water since 1 monotub probably takes multiple flushes

That's a good way to back up your plumbing lol.

I used to just throw them into trash bags and leave them in the dumpster or trash can. Unless you're worried about people digging through your trash, that's probably the easiest way.

Now that I'm finally moving into my first house this month (woo), I'm probably just gonna start burying them around the backyard and see if anything grows. Easy way to get a few more fruits for doing nothing if you live in the right climate. :shrug:

This year I tilled a bunch of old subs in my garden. I'm planning on putting the new spent subs in between the rows of my plants with grass clippings and yard stuff covering them. Idk if I'll yield anything from them but they can't hurt the soil.

Put them into a compost pile/tumbler or a worm farm. Worms love that stuff.

Mushroom compost/spent substrate is also sold to be added to potting soil or standard soil to add nutrients and hold water so you could stretch your soil further doing it that way.

I use to break them up (less chance of getting something to grow fruits out that will draw attention) and mix it with cat litter that I scooped out of the litter box.. no one is digging through that literal shit.. then throw em in some random dumpster

Faht

I bury them in a shady spot in the backyard. Usually find a random patch within a few weeks. Before having a backyard I would just break them up really well in the trash can the same day it was being picked up.

If you have the space-Start a garden
That stuff is too valuable to throw away.
Otherwise give it somebody who can use it.
Want not waste not -gives you a good excuse to grow more "compost" ...haha

When i lived in an apartment i threw them in the dumpster in black trash bags. Used white trash bags for normal trash so if i threw out both together it wouldnt look like it obviously came from the same person.

Now i live somewhere that i can just throw out back near the trees

I'm the one who does the soak in water in a bucket then down the toilet
but there is more to it than that and it has to be done just right
to get it to a consistency that wont clog up the pipes.

Man I worked at a water treatment facility and please for the love of god don't flush spent sub down the toilet. You are literally asking for trouble and causing alot of trouble down the line, if it isn't an organic biological material, piss, shit, or toilet paper it doesn't belong in the toilet.

It's just some dirt and grains and small mushroom pieces...no different
than what storm drains and people with garbage disposals and all these
restaurants flush down the drain everyday. I'm able to get it to the consistency
What I would basically call rice soup. I only flush it down one scoop
at a time...it's not going to hurt anything.
