Peat as bulk sub

Could you use peat moss as a substitute for coco? They seem pretty similar and peat is way way cheaper.

Short answer is cubensis will grow on any vegetable cellulose you throw at it.
Long answer Is, No. Peat moss is not a substitute and really only has similarities for horticulture.

I once was on a free substrate kick. Totally possible if you feel like pasteurizing substrates and you know your spawn is clean.If not you end up like that post.

Lol you should look up the thread about reusable subs. I think it was pasty about a year ago.


It was some sort of jacket insulation sheeting dipped in nutritious goo.

It's more about ease of acquisition. I can make free sub from hpoo and straw but I like Coir and feel like peat would work good as a substitute if I added some kind of nutrients and gypsum.
