hey i was thinking of starting using the rye substrate and verm/coir casing technique but i don't have a pc. Would it be sufficient to boil them in a pot or is pc absolutely necessary?

In my experience a PC is badly needed for grains. I know it seems like a pain, but it can save you a lot of trouble later on.

If you don't have a pc and don't plan on getting one brown rice flour is your best bet.

i thought salt just lowered the boiling point and freezing point of water? i just didn't think it allowed the water to actually boil at a higher temp is all. anyway, a PC gets the water to around 250 degrees at 15 psi killing anything in it's path. for anything other than a 1/2 pint or pint it is highly recomended.

I agree with Mushbaby if a PC is not really in your budget. They are expensive, but if you can afford one that is definitely the way to go.

those are for the mirro or whatever they are called with a regulation weight which will break (eventually) they still last a long time though you can get some pretty good ones on ebay that are all american pressure cookers for 50.00 for the cheapest which will hold 4 quart jars and will last allot longer then the mirro ones from walmart.
