Drip tubing in casing?
    #5304908 - 02/15/06 10:04 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I'm curious how well drip tubing might work in a casing layer. There's a kind at walmart that's made of a porus recycled tire material, it looks like it sweats the water out which made me think of mushrooms.

You could assemble a track that covers the colonized substrate, and place the casing layer on top of it. This should keep the casing layer nice and moist without ever having to mist the surface.

Has anyone ever tried something similar?

It may work but water delivery must be watch close so you don't over hydrate those fruitbodies theres nothing worse than water logged shrooms except for no shrooms at all of course! :wink:

Once, I placed a short length of sterilized "soaker" hose in the bottom of a 12 qrt tray, with a pvc elbow on the end, and a 5 inch high 3/4 inch pvc pipe sticking up.

Then added bulk substrate & spawn.

After the tray was colonized, cased & pinning.
I watered the tray, with a funnel into the upright pipe.

It worked well.

But, the adjoining tray without the soaker hose, did just as well.
So, I never did it again.
