compost question
    #5704368 - 06/02/06 02:33 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I was reading a grow log, here it is grow log and she used compost and WBS as a substrate then cases it with 50/50 mix. She didn't specify what kind of compost. The grow looked really sucessful and has inspired me to give this way a try. I have a bag of steer manure compost, would this work to act as a good substrate to mix my wbs with? If not what compost is the best?
thank you all for the help.

Compost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compost is a processes, chemically and biologically. And for mushrooms there are further requirements, not all compost is equal. Just good old age hpoo is not a compost.

She dose not say, but truly good compost is not easy to come by, at least not for me. I would PM her about the source.

thanks for the advice, I'm gonna pm her.
the bag says this on it- Composted Steer Manure. Pulverized, screened, dried, weed free.
Not a whole lot else.
I think that I am going to sacrifice one jar and do a mini casing to test it out. I am going to mix about 30 percent vermiculite to 70 percent compost. After it is colonized I will case it is a 50/50 mix. How does that sound? any suggestions?

This is based on what I've read, not personal experience, but anything composted is not good for shroom cultivation.
