casing depth and yield
    #5363791 - 03/04/06 06:20 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

hello!
i was wondering what would be a good depth for optimum yield on agaricus species casings (other species would be welcome too). can anybody give me some light?
i've read some contradictory data and i want to clear it out... i read a text which talked about 6 and 12 inch deep, is that ok? i read in so many places you don't need more than 2 inches... thats a lot of difference.

CASING (commercial crops)
Normally a depth (measured after initial water has been applied) of 1 to 1.25 inches of casing is adequate for most mushroom crops.

There are growers and farms where casing depth will be as much as 1.75 to 2 inches, but such depth is usually found only where peat moss is the casing medium.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a deep casing layer, but with good management there is no need to use so much casing. Further, the deeper the casing the longer the interval between casing and picking.

More could be said about casing, but this general guideline is adequate to bring on satisfactory crops.

^^Mind detailing your procedure thus far? Or planned procedure, as it were.

i should be obtaining pre inoculated compost so quantity isn't a problem, i am aiming for the best yield. it will be something around 100 square meters of grow.
