Palm Wood - Substrate/Casing/Amendment Experiment
    #7565661 - 10/27/07 03:25 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So I found a rotten palm tree lying around on the road (and promptly had half a palm tree on my terrace and then broke it up and ground it to powder), and decided to see if it would work as either:

1- a substrate
2- a casing layer
3- amendment with the horse poo I have (Im going to get some elephant poo soon..YAY!)
4- I dunno what else I can do with it

I started by putting a little piece next a cake that was ready, and it colonized very quickly.

So here is the question, does anyone know if this stuff can be useful as a substrate?

I have noticed some of it contamed very quickly when sterile/pasteurized and left out. I have powdered it and want to know if anyone has any ideas on how I could use this, since I dont know whether it could work as a casing.

It absorbs and holds water well, and is spongy and soft when wet, much like any kind of coir.

RR? Anyone? Ideas? What do you guys think I should do with this? Im thinking of doing 2 trials for each kind of study, but wanna know what you think so I dont waste my time.
