Best way to clean and sterilise grow buckets?
    #26607323 - 04/17/20 06:59 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hi all, am currently setting up to grow oysters in 15l (4 gallon) buckets. I will soon have a LOT of buckets to clean and sterilise. What is the best way you have found for cleaning and sterilising buckets for multiple uses? I’m new to all this and am keen to learn anything I can. Cheers

Garden hose.

It's oysters :wink:

If you're really worried, put some isopropyl in a spray bottle to sanitize (not sterilize).

As far as the cleaning, I would highly suggest using a trash bag liner inside the buckets, then you won't have to clean them.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

The cleaning is why I have a box of 1000 bags...  :alphabrain:

It works well, the bag usually sticks to the substrate as the substrate shrinks from moisture loss.  Then you can take it out of the bucket after the first flush and use the bucket for a new one, while still letting the bagged substrate grow its subsequent flushes without losing too much moisture or taking up a bucket.

Thanks for the answers. I am trying to go for a no waste plastic approach so I guess cleaning is kind of unavoidable.
