My perlite is dirty...
    #7528008 - 10/17/07 02:31 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I just got back from my local Home Depot with a new bag of perlite. I had to get a kid to get a dusty ass box of it from off a top shelf in the garden section. I don't know why they didn't have any on the shelf... anyway, I got home and opened the bag and it's full of dirt and leaves. I'm pissed... seeing as how I got the same exact thing last time from the same place and it was prestine white. Anyone have experience with this... is it okay to use??? I don't want my 6 new BEAUTIFUL cakes getting contaminated after birth.

sterilize the perlite and it will be fine...

Although i may advise others in a general way regarding all types of mushroom grows, and may even post question from other forums about growing "active" mushrooms, i only grow non-"active" mushrooms and edibles.

put the ammount that you wanna use in a 5 gallon bucket...

and get all the leaves and crap out.


then add a little bleach to the bucket...

let it soak over night.

then rinse it out a little.


and your good to go.
