straw question
    #5664768 - 05/23/06 02:35 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I inoculated some wbs jars last night and am toying with the idea of spawning them on straw and casing with 50/50 of peat and verm. I only have so much space so my trays are 1 and a half feet long, 1 foot wide and three inches deep. Would it be worth it to only have 2 and a half inches of straw with a half inch casing layer. I have heard that straw dries out and there is only one good fluch and an ok second one. I already know poo is the way to go but I haven't been able to talk my girl into filling our house with horse shit, but I'm working on it. In a tray so small should I just case it with 50/50 or go ahead and use the straw? any tips and help is greatly appreciated.

with that little sub level, put a DAMP layer of straight verm down first(nuked and cooled first of course) 1/2-1 inch deep. then the spawn/straw mix, then case. this will give you a little more moisture, and should help somewhat..

lol and when i finish all my current experiments, i'm gonna have to do a straw grow log to end this "one flush wonder" urban myth  :rolleyes:

Im doing an oyster mushroom grow on the side justnow. I managed to pinch some straw from a nearby farm and iv got it pasturizing justnow. Once its cooled im gonna spawn it with these colonised dowels i bought from ebay. If ur into gourmets, then keep an eye out for a grow log that i'll make for it
