Dehydrated HPoo Question
    #27037140 - 11/13/20 02:00 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I’ve got a question for experienced folks here who work wort dehydrated Hpoo. So we know substrates tend to expand so much when we hydrate them (learned that after making 1.5x as much rye grain spawn as I had jars... total hahaha).

I’d like to know roughly how much more volume dehydrated horse manure presents as a hydrated substrate vs it’s raw (well... dehydrated...) volume.


I’ve got some grain colonizing right now and we’re in the final stretch so the time to spawn to the tubs is upon us. Normally I don’t mind making a little extra substrate but I’ve decided I’m going to put on my lab coat for a proper experiment to find out which substrate is the best. Of 6 tubs I’ll be using HPoo is an ingredient in 2 of them and I don’t want to make so much extra I feel inclined to stray from the parameters of the experiment and so as to not let good substrate go to waste. Anyway sorry for rambling I knew I was gonna do that that’s why I put the actual question in the middle lol.

Depends a little on how dry your HP already is... I did some last night and it was 30% moisture already.

Expansion was pretty minimal once water added, like 10-20% if that.

10%-20%! Wow I would not have expected that! I figured being that it was “dehydrated” it would have at least ended up 1.5x its original volume, but now that I think about it, poo’s purpose isn’t to hold water so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised 😅 thank you so much!
