um how MUCH straw are we talking. one cake per straw would be a fine ratio. one cake to 100 000 straws then you'd be hooped. however we often coose to measure straw not by count but by volume. makes life easyer.

Yeah, how MUCH straw is there? Like whats the depth, height, width of your straw in the tub, then we might be able to help you.

i would say about 3 inches deep at a total of about 2 or 3 gallons varying a little from one tub to the other. the cakes were crumbled about as small as a half a whopper candy.

Yeah your ratio is low. Though there is still hope. Has the smell gotten strong and very noticible or is it just faint? The stronger it gets the more likely its contaming.

Just a suggestion but try to keep the one you think is contaming as far away as possible from all the others.

i had a feeling my ratio was low, the smell isnt too strong but the strongest smelling one is also the most colonized so far. it almost smells a bit minty i would say.
