just checked tenn stud and it's actually more expensive for dry. $40 for 20lbs prepasteurized. $60 for dry. So I don't really know why someone would get the dry over the wet.

you had it right before the edit   even with the price difference, the dry stuff is a better value, you get a lot more poo (in the area of about 70% more - yeah water weighs a lot!) for the weight

you can also store the dry stuff indefinitely, whereas the pre-pasteurized needs to be used relatively quick for best results.

And you and RR know this from experience , right ?

Not just repeating things you.ve heard ? Or your own believes .? or opinions ?

You've both bought 100 ponds of the pre-pasteurized and spawned 50 pounds immediately , gathered the data and then fruited the other 50 pounds 4 months later and compared the results , right ?

Wow, I didn't know water accounted for THAT much. I thought maybe 50% at most. Maybe i'll switch to dry and force myself to learn to pasteurize. It seems like I'd screw pasteurizing up for sure though.

nono don't get me wrong, don't mean to imply it doesn't last, i know there's lots of reports of folks using it up to 6 months later... but for as many accounts of that happening there's probably as many accounts of strange stuff growing in it in shorter time periods.  lots of variability and chance for sure, also depending on how you store it... when its dry, you take out the chance and its pretty much a sure thing you can store it for longer periods with no ill effects (and should you be in the business of storing poo that long, its also nice that the dry stuff takes up less space )

I've never attempted to use pasteurized manure more than two weeks after pasteurization.  If it doesn't stink to high heaven by then, it was sterilized, not pasteurized.

LOL, true dat

I always wondered.

Because peeps talk about storing pre-pasteurized tenn/stud h/poo that came in filter/patch spawn bags, in all sorts of environments, for months (sometimes) before use (even R/K, if my recollection serves me right).

This I know. If it was just pasteurized & stored at room temps (65 / 75F), there would be visibly active microbial activity, and corresponding odor in a week or 2.



I have dealt with TONS

of h/poo...compost, bulk substrate combo's, etc.

About the only way you can stop microbial activity in those, is to dehydrate it to under 15% moisture.


By no means am I spoofing tenn/stud. It's GOOD SHIT...  , so say peep's who's word I trust.

Sadly, those thoughts are on HOLD until some personal health issues are resolved.

Good to see you around again agar, I hope whatever health issues you face are beaten hastily.
