The OP shows 40-50 gallons of substrate for reference.
I found the 100 gallon tanks from ace hardware for about $89.

I'm pretty confident in my abilities to make and identify clean spawn but I'm definitely not going to be mixing more than one monotub into a bunch of substrate.

~ 45 gallons in the trough with the OPs recipie
roughly 8qts per tub x 22 substrates = 176qts or 45 gallons.

I think he's talking about mixing all of his bulk substrate and spawn together in 1 big batch and then distributing that to the tubs. Saying it's not something he wants to do.
If the spawn is clean and all of the same culture I don't see why not. Just make sure a dirty bag doesn't sneak by. I can definitely see why one might not want to do that though.
The last bed I spawned I mixed up the bulk sub then dumped in my bags of grain and mixed it all up together with the drill/paint mixer combo. Hand mixing that much stuff sucks.
I think a batch mixer would rock but they are mucho pricey. Instead I will probably pick up a cement mixer next year. Still trying to decide which kind and such.

I'm a moron... I am lost.
So this took you longer, and you prefer your other method. Or, this one works better?
Not being facetious, legit inquiry.

I tried the 30 gal bags a bunch yesterday and I have to say I like the 6mil better.
The potential time saved by not cutting is just replaced with fumbling with flimsy plastic while trying to mix, the folding and tucking takes just as much time as precutting the liners and is more annoying than precutting IMO.
Will report back on munches method next, and I'll outline how I do my 6mil liners, if yall wanna try that.

I'll give it a try.
Was just thinking when you take it out to harvest and put it back in the bags needs to get retucked, more motions.
Just from the folding and tucking motions which are a pain IMO I'm gonna say I highly doubt I'll use them, I'm glad they're working for you, and I'll give the smooth ones a try but I don't see me loving having to fold and tuck every liner, then refolding and tucking in second flush.
Imo the motions of cutting plastic sheet on an open table vs folding plastic within a tub is not hard to choose between as I've been doing it. The less time spent bent over a tub the better.
I assume you've tried the 6mil ted

20 ft. x 100 ft. Black 6 mil Plastic Sheeting
Makes 450-500 liners / $100 = $0.22-$0.20 per liner or 5ยข more per liner than using 30 gal trash bags at Ted's price of 60/$9 as a reference.

Would you mind sharing the dimensions of your template?
I'm using the same roll of black 6 mil plastic that you have pictured here as well as the same 56qt sterlite totes that you use.
Trying to avoid wasting a bunch of the 6 mil sheeting by guessing how much to cut my first time.
