Black Kow and casing???
    #7550238 - 10/23/07 08:39 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

In a previous thread, I discussed converting my mycobag fruiting chamber (double tub) to include holes with polyfil for air exchange. To my surprise, I found Black Kow compost at the store when I was buying supplies. I ended up soaking it to field capacity, putting a very thin layer over the existing perlite in the bottom tub then crumbling my two bags over that. I got roughly 1-1.5" of solid colonized bag crumbles. I then added another 0.5" of field capacity moistened compost in a very loose/airy layer above the colonized bag crumbles. This was just two days ago.

I checked the progress today and there are at least a dozen spots of myc popping up and growing through/on the compost itself. I was thinking that a casing layer of 50/50 verm/coir or jiffy mix would be an option as well but judging by the prolific growth I've seen so far since adding compost, I'm not sure if it is even worth doing.

Any thoughts, friends?

From what I've read, in comparison to other bulk substrates, it wouldn't be a bad idea. I've been wondering why no ones mentioned it in any teks, so it might not be necessary. Is bk necessary to soak or does it just help?
