There's ways to go about it sort of, taking nearly "spent" substrate and spawining it into poo for example, its harder to do than just starting over for lots of reasons (contamination being the biggest concern), not to mention mycelium get "old" after a while.
There's lots and lots of other ways to go about keeping a continuous cycle going without running into those problems. They become quickly apparent once you learn a bit about how the whole process works. Things like liquid cultures, grain transfers, cloning, etc.
Not to sound like a smart ass, but why don't you ask your friend and see what he was referring to? I'm betting he might not have a such a good answer once you put him on the spot. ;-)

that Key is more nutrients in the substrate...i do agree with creamcorn on a lot of
what he said though... but as u said"patches" u do meen flushes correct? are u
someone that gets a flush and then just throws his cassing or caks out?
peronally iv seen potency decress substaintally from first flush to later flushes ..but agin thats probably from lack of nutrients in the substrate

all you would have to do is add more horse poo and water and they will keep growing outdoors. other than that there really is no secret.
