poo + straw question
    #5392125 - 03/12/06 02:35 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

i took a 5 gallon bucket and filled the bottom with 'de-odorized steer manure' from home despot.

I soaked some hay for a few hours then crushed a cake and put it on.
I then put a bit of manure, then a layer of hay and then crumpled cake and so on a few times. I ended with about 1 inch layer of manure.

3 weeks later and there are slight cobweb and some brownish color and other white but not strong rhizo showing. it is moist with a feed of mist from coolmist assoc.

any advice is appreciated. temps are 75-84.

First off, de-odorized???
I cant help there, old manure doesnt smell much and its perfect for growing.

Fresh manure needs to be leached :wink:

I hope you are mistaking hay for straw, and that you used straw, because hay is not what you want , hay is grass, straw comes from agriculture processing.

It the left plant matter after we take the wheat etc(or at least the part we use for eating) :smile:

One cake spawned to a 5 gallon bucket, especially placed on top, with a little manure covering isnt a good spawn ratio.

You must mix well, considering what you did it can only losely be called spawning , and at best, it was a very poor "spawning"

You dont need to feed it water, and it should be sealed up, you want a build up of Co2, the way you are doing things you are going to end up with a failed project, start over, use alot more spawn, and prepare your poo the right way.

I had failures to, but the effort is worth it, you'll get it. :wink:

no, didnn't even pastuerize.

but, i just came back from the stables and picked up 2 big hefty bags of poo. greenish in color and bricklets- yea!

so i will try again to read... i saw bales of hay or straw and wasn't what it was..

am looking for a tek that would be suitable for what i have ...

There are no Hay teks.

Use straw.

IF  you can find horses, you can buy straw in town :wink:

yeah, i saw big bales of greenish hay/straw - so i should assume that it is straw... the horse poo is full of it as well...
