n00b question on shiitake
    #5627683 - 05/14/06 08:54 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Getting ready to inoculate alder logs with dowels. I have garbage cans full of rain water, but I also have a broken-down hot tub full of winter rains, algae, frogs... general pond scum. The hot tub, being larger, would be more convenient, plus all the organics (contaminants?). The logs have dried out. Which should I use to dunk them? Should I dunk them before or after I put in the dowels?

One. Floated it in the rainwater last night after pounding in the dowels and sealing with beeswax. Should I put the other end in also?
Obviously half of it was above the water line. It's sitting in the woodshed now.
