Those tubs are gonna work GREAT!

OK, This is how I set up my tubs.

I decide how thick I want my substrates to be. I like 3 inches of horse poo.

I also use 3/4inch holes for air exchange.

So I just add 3" sub + 1/2" casing layer + 3/8" half the diameter of my 3/4 drill bit. So I make a mark 3 and 7/8" in height all around my bottom tub. Then I drill my holes.


So that the top of my cased substrate is right at the bottom of my holes I do a small calculation to determine how much horse poo and jars I need to fill it up to 3 inches.

I convert all my values to metric

(length of bottom tub)X (width of bottom tub)X 7.5cm in height = Volume of substrate in mL.

I want a 1:4 spawn to poo ratio. so,

Volume of poo = total volumeX 4/5
Volume of spawn = total volume X 1/5

Quart Jars needed equals = volume of spawn/ 750

Well I just ordered 15lbs of prepasteurized hpoo from tennstud. How much volume does that fill up? I have 58 quarts to work with and I need to drill my holes above the substrate level according to the tek.

hah i dont think he gets it musher. Use the formula newb, he literally spelled it out for you. Good post musher. I finally understand how to find out how many quart jars I need. That helped me a lot.

No I mean how much volume is that much poo? I made a mistake, I ordered 10 lbs, not 15 lbs. I dont know how much volume 10lbs is so I dont know how high of a substrate level I need to plug into the equation.

Also, can someone please point me to a good mono-tub tek, pictorial if possible? I'm interested in researching this option before I try a double tub.
