Underground heating idea.
    #5167125 - 01/11/06 12:01 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

If one could find a heating pad capable of being waterproof and mildew resistant, as well as a thermostat probe capable of the same. Or, even enclose both in a water tight container.
What would happen if this were placed outside, then a layer of suitable substrate and spawn were placed on top, then covered with soil and straw? See where I'm headed? You could perhaps control mycellium growth and incubation underground, then cut the temperature back to induce pinning.

Add a thermostat, and the temperature is controlled, no?

You could just get some copper tubing and bend it up pump hot water heated by a fish tank heater (Hopefully something with a better duty cycle if possible) using a pump maybe?

I like that idea..... copper tubing, goldfish pond pump, a water resivor, heater, and BAM.... Heated soil.... I wonder what mother nature would think about that?

Surface temperature will determine pinning, not deep substrate temp.

I tried heating soil in the winter that way once before to grow plants, and what happened was every dormant insect, millipede, worm, etc., crawled to where the soil was warm and ate everything in sight.

"These heating cables are not designed to work in outdoor beds."
Good price though!

Maybe I can add to this :smile:

The wording on the website needs to change.

You can use heating cables for indoor beds.  It should say the ARE designed to be used indoors.

Also, we have heavy duty industrial heating cables that are  used while pouring concrete so that you don't have to shovel snow off of it in the winter time :smile:  They go as long as 250 feet and work at 1250 watts. 

And yes, there is a thermostat that is available, just not on the site yet.

PM me for details if you want, I'd be happy to help anyone out!
