spawn to bulk question
    #6809810 - 04/19/07 06:25 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I plan on spawning 3-4 quart jars with white millet as the substrate to "Black Velvet Mushroom Compost." Just wondering if anyone has used this compost before and how effective it was?

Also, I am casing 50/50 plus. I could not find any crushed oyster shell to lower the pH of the casing. Will Soil Doctor Pulverized Garden Lime work for that? I have a pH tester, so getting the pH right should not be a problem.

Thanks for the help!

OH WOW, STOP, do not spawn to that!

Bagged mushroom compost from a store IS spent mushroom compost that gets used as plant soil. You are destined for almost guaranteed failure if you use that as a substrate.

How about "Black Kow" Composted Cow Manure?

That's ok, but it's very dirt-like and you may have a hard time getting water content right without turning it into mud. I would mix it 50/50 with straw or coir.
