funny you should say that I'm considering it....what I'm gonna do if I do that is drill some holes(obviously) then take one of those clear garbage bags and tape it over the top...so I can see whats going on and so it will get the proper light and be sealed...I was on the fence but since your askin I will do that

I was thinking of the same, why people use a double tub. Wouldnt it work in a single tub I thought.
Im having trubles with my PMP anyway so I might try the single tub too. But I also wanna check if I can take care of AE with the 2 hoses of my airpump.

I've decided against doing a single tub for this eq...only cause its all done already and I don't wanna get any plastic shavings or anything on the substrate or mess it up cause I think its gonna be a real nice one...I will do one for sure tho EDIT: heres some pics of how I did things the fluke with the last burma I talked about was the fact that I used verm with poo in the same pillow case...and I find without being able to really squeeze poo its hard to get it to the right water content....so I did 2 bags this time...1 was half shredded straw/half verm and the other straight horse poo
heres the horse poo..I broke it up really nice by hand
straw and verm in the tub with the horse poo next to it
and here it is mixed up real nice
macro of the mix
EQ spawn(white millet)
and a macro of the spawn mixed in...I have more pics but I'm outta space
I also added my casing layer already...first time trying this...I figure it will help sheild against contams for one thing and also colonize while the substrate is as well...so I'll just patch it every few days and it should be ready to go in under a week...apposed to letting the substrate colonize then the casing layer

Interesting Walrus! Nice pics too.
Especially the already applied casing layer. Presume you start with half to one inch or something so that you have margin for patching?
Yeh I think the single tub must work.

I put just enough casing mix to cover the substrate...when I patch I sprinkle a VERY fine lil bit over the white areas

Keey, curious how it will work out!
What kinda setups do you guys use to grow your mushrooms in? Also how do you incubate your bulk tubs?

TD just stuffs the polyfil tighter during incubation and covers with a washed blanket.

if I were to seal I'd use one of those big ass clear garbage bags and duct tape it...not pretty but it would do the job ratio was 1.5" straw/1.5" verm and 1" poo dry in the bin I used...so its probably around 4.5-5" now since its wet and has the millet...I haven't actually measured it tho so I could be wrong...I'm not opening it for 3 days so I'll measure then and someone else mentioned colonization temp for bulk...well bulk generates its own heat so I usually keep it at around 75-80(usually closer to 75)

walrus, have you ever tried soaking your straw in a poo slurry? Colonization time is wicked.

yeah, it turns brown and slurryish, i think that has something to do with the colonization time of the straw. It takes a shit batch and gets all durty.

Ah smart, a blanket. At which temperature do you incubate it then?
I ask cause opinions seem divided (as so often ) some say bulk has higher temp of itself incubating at roomtemp (75) is enough. Others say its necessary to incubate at 80+.
