a box of azures or a crazy idea?
    #403200 - 09/24/01 11:57 PM (22 years, 8 days ago)

Alright, originally i got this idea from watching a show on prisons, ya prisons
anyway my basic idea is to find a large cardboard box, like the ones bushels of fruits and things come in, and another smaller box that fits inside, leaving a couple inches around the edges. i plan to fill the smaller box with colonized woodchips mixed with uncolonized chips, place it in the center of the larger box and fill the space between with a mixture of more colonized/uncolonized chips. then i'll throw some big chunks over the top of it all, and finally top it off with...well the top, maybe with a large hole cut in it or a bunch of smaller ones for the mycelia to creep out of. stick this whole food cell in the ground with about 3 inches of space from ground level for a potting soil casing with leaf little and other such junk you find the forest floor

will it work? i've heard cardboard doesn't contaminate very easily, so i was thinking it might keep out the majority of contams, at least long enough for the azures to take over, while perhaps keeping humidity high in the summer and providing a little insulation for the winter.

i've never used cardboard for anything though so i don't know what to expect, am i setting myself up for contams?

any suggestion, comments, criticisms, histerical laughter that such an idea could even be remotly feasible to anyone with half a brain, are warmly invited

if anythign it provided me with about 15 minutes of entertainment while i was blueprinting plans :) hehe

**histerical laughter**

Contamination isn?t that much of a problem when growing outdoors on woodchips.
In this enviroment nature does its job on keeping contaminants and the species you want in balance. So there is not really a point in putting the whole stuff into a carton box.
Best time to start an outdoor azurescens project is in early spring.

Thats a very good idea, but why mess with the cardboard, go to the store buy one of those big as rubbermaid containers cut it down so its only 6 inches high, fill with your colonized/uncolonized chips sink into ground just an 1/2 inch lower and cover with a thin layer of dirt, or just do lots of those litte plastic potting cups plant them all over the place/ out of sunlight.

Cardboard works great! Colonizes a little slow, like woodchips...but I have had zero problems with contams...this should sork fine. Cheers and good luck.
