It works, with varying results. Without a casing layer, it might take a little more work to get the moisture level correct.

With a casing layer, it truly allows you to set-forget.

I thought the moisture content in the rye jars and horse manure is already correct?

If not I'll just make 50/50+.

To initiate pinning, you really need as close to 100% humidity as you can get, the casing being wet allows you to easily achieve this on top of the substrate. When he says the moisture might need work, he means the humidity in there might not be enough to get things pinning properly, whereas with a cased substrate it is much easier to keep it at good humidity for pinning.

You can get good pinning without a casing layer though, lay down wax paper on top of the substrate, this will act like a casing layer and keep humidity against the substrate at near 100%

Lift the paper and fan once a day, replace paper every 3 days or so. Paper will contaminate if left soaking for a week or more in stale air.

I do not case bulk coir/manure most of the time, and generally have good results using this style. You will get bigger fruits with a casing layer though, the case does provide extra water during growth.

How many quarts of 50/50+ mix would you say I'd need to make?

Hard to say without the dimensions of the tub, maybe 2 quarts per tub? Maybe 3? Somewhere around there... doesn't need to be very thick.

Now that's the spirit! Make sure to document how it goes.

Why are you going through all of the trouble of proper technique and then half assing the casing?

I have heard some people in IRC having great success with monotubs without a casing layer and thought I should try it.

Sounds easy enough: Dump the colonized rye with the horse manure (1:3 ratio), wait to colonize, fruit those babies :smile:

Casing layers increase your chances at a more even pinset and provide a nice microclimate to primordia. Its not required.

Even pinset = higher yields?

even pinset = shrooms growing at the same time and rate.
instead of having 22 bigass monsters 30 medium guys, 100 little ones and possibly a sporey mess all over the place.....

In my other montubs I have done in the past (with casing) I waited to harvest until the caps were opened, sometimes spores everywhere but never saw a problem with this.

The only problem I have with it is getting them under my fingernails.
