Seeking some advice...

Hello everyone.
I have lurked around for quite sometime, and I used to have a login some years ago, but long since forgot it. I have grown before, using Shroom Wizards method, and while I had "some success" with it I gave it up due to other circumstances. I have gotten to a point now where I am ready to start again, I am familiar with most of the procedures involved with growing, but what I would like to do is run some stuff by you more experienced individuals and see what you think.
This is my idea, spore to agar to LC to monotub.
Spores ordered from one of the outstanding vendors that help out the community here, I'm thinking Gulfcoast, and Penis Envy, or Golden Teacher - I will figure that out once I get a little further ahead with the planning. I defiantly wants something on the more potent side. Agar using this tech: http://www.shroomery.org/8514/Agar-substitute LC using this tech: http://www.shroomery.org/9378/High-Quality-Liquid-Culture-Step-by-Step (or something similar, am open to suggestions!) Then bulk substrate using a monotub, as I love the simplicity of the monotub.
Using a still air box for all transfers, I would use the agar in order to eliminate any possible contams that might ride in from the syringes, even if I loose a few, it doesn't matter. Then to a extra light malt / dextrose LC with good sample from agar jars. Once the LC jar(s) are colonized then I will use that to get the tub going.
Now where I'm am falling a bit short is the monotub, or more exactly, what to fill it with. There are so many different choices and I'm just not sure which way to go. What about poop? Would it be a safe bet to say that poop that I can buy from one of my local feed / garden supply stores is going to have extras in it that will cause me to fail? I really don't want to pay the freight charges for poop from the vendors. So I need some help in deciding on which tek to use to fill my tub up. Thanks.

find a farm or something near you and ask them for some poo for your garden. thats what i do. even in the winter time X). poo in a monotub is the only way to go.

Hmm, I guess that I will wind up having to pay for shipping huh? I was trying to be a cheap bastard. I know of no farms close to where I live either.
As far as everything else, what do you think?

sounds good. i would skin the lc step. that will just add another factor for possible contams. same with agar. just do a multispore into some wbs and spawn to poo in a monotub. easy as pie. then once you get some boomers take a clone and you can go some g2g transfers and make up some lc and agar

Hmm, and it would be cheaper on the whole. I will say that when I was doing it the first time, I only lost 5 or 6 jars out of dozens to contams, and I didn't even have a pressure cooker. Now I know with WBS I WILL have to have a pressure cooker, but that won't be hard to pick up or order when the time is right.
Well, thanks for the input, hopefully I will be able to get everything started pretty soon, and I will post a log at that time.
