adding poo to my coir?
    #7640945 - 11/15/07 05:53 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Preparing to do a mono-tub here. I've only got 5 lbs of hpoo to use. dried and ready to pasteurize. I'm afraid it wont be enough for my tub though.

If i switch to a coir substrate, can i add the poo to supplement it? Or would it be better to just add more rye grains to the poo to give me the proper substrate depth?

I'm really not sure how much volume this poo is gonna give me once i hydrate it and toss it into the tub. I think i figured up i'll need 12-14 qts of material to get a 4"-5" thick substrate.

This is my first go at working with poo, as well as my first mono-tub.

Should work fine if you get the moisture content right

what would be the best way to do that. When I previously did coir..i just soaked it in hot ass water, hydrated it and pasteurized it at the same time. Should i just toss the poo in at that time and mix it up? Maybe add a bit more water?

I actually hydrated the coir .. then once it expanded I set it aside in a box in the sun to dry .. then added all ingredients THEN got it moistened to field capacity .. then sterilized or pasteurized as needed.

Poo-supplemented coir performs very well.
