Pre-sterilized shroom compost
    #5429675 - 03/22/06 12:01 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Has anyone had experience with pre-sterilized compost designed for shrooms? The stuff is pretty cheap at 3.50/lb. I was just wondering if it was worth it, becuase vermiculite has recently violated EPA standards to not many places carry it where I live.

Also, a few questions pertaining to the compost:

Is pressure cooking really necesarry for pre-sterilized substrate?

How would you recomend getting the already-sterilized substrate into the jars without contams? Glove Box?

If so, should I be soking the jars with bleach water, then wipe them down inside the glove box? Then but substrate in, seal and tape?

I just need the best way to go about this. Thanks in advance. :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :mushroom2:

The EPA monitors all the mines on a regular basis.

i wouldnt PC the compost, i would pastuerize it in the oven. PC'ing kills many of the beneficial bacteria whereas pastuerizing would kill a lot of bad and leave some bacteria(good and bad) to duke it out. its common here to only pastuerize your substrate.
