Using Fox Farm Soil for casing and/or substrate?
    #5438062 - 03/24/06 11:59 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Okay, i've got a few bags of Fox Farm Planting Mix potting soil, you know, the kind in the red bag.  I used it for quite a long time when I grew marijuana, but now that I have switched to shroomies I was wondering if I could use the potting soil in jars as a substrate maybe mixed with a little verm and BRF?  And how about for casings?  Could I mix up some of this soil with some moss and maybe a little verm for a casing layer?  The soil contains Earthworm castings chicken and bat guano, some aged mushroom compost, and cocoa bean hulls...could any of this be harmful to the cultivation of mushrooms?

Thanks in advance for the help guys :smile:

You'd most likely be better off with coir but it will work. the only thing ois the bat guano. Kind of high in the nitrogen area but the stuff should work. but like you said certain things grow better in it.
