Environmental Thread
    #7193719 - 07/18/07 05:40 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I was wondering if anyone has ever brought up the aspect of re-using supplies in this hobby?

I am pretty environmentally conscious and hate throwing so much verm, tin-foil, and batches gone bad.

I know for bad batches you could do an outside patch but what other options are there? Can you re-use anything? Make compost out of old substrates and things along that lines? Also when I do my PF jars lots of verm gets kicked around everywhere. Can this be re-used in new PF jars or is the risk to great of bits of shroom in with it would cause the cake to rot?

Its hard re-using tinfoil it seems to tear a lot. Is there any other way to cover the tops of PF jars for PC?

Anyone have any other input on this topic or any other tips for the tree hugger's?

I re use all my jars over and over I reuse my fc over and over I bury all old projects outside.

Not much except filters get thrown away.

I reuse foil. I guess I'm careful with it. Or you need thicker stuff?

Reusing verm would be possible, I guess- if you PC it. Substrates and whatnot should be buried, IMO. If they don't sprout, it's still good fertilizer. I wash and sterilize perlite, too.

Like budmanman said, I don't throw much away either.

Best I've found is already recycled once- the stuff that Chipotle puts around burritos is my favorite. Other than that, I us Walgreen's finest.
:lol:
