Make your own Bulk Substrate bags
    #7882070 - 01/15/08 07:52 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I'm interested in making my own bulk substrate bags using things like coir, coffee, straw, or whatever else i can find.

I know I can buy these empty bags from sponsors but I was wondering if there are any local places that sell autoclavable bags. It seems I would just need to put the filter patch on and they would be ready to use.

The goal would be to make a bulk substrates bag which I would eventually pour into a tub and spawn with WBS. It would just be convenient to have a few bags on hand so they are ready when my spawn is.

Is the filter patch necessary if you dont plan on inoculating the bag itself? How long would the shelf life be for bags like this? Would they stay properly hydrated or would i have to rehydrate before using them. Again, I just think it would conveinent to make like 10 or 15 substrate bags over a weekend then have enough substrate to last me for a long time. Does anyone else do this?

Uline sells gusseted bags that are perfect for bulk bags. That or maybe the vacuum sealer bags at walmart? People have used bread bags and ziplock bags. be creative!

Do other people use this technique? I guess my main question is are there any problems with preparing all your bulk substrate in advance and using it at a later date, maybe even months later. Also, if a bag of coir/coffee/gypsum was pasteurized and then left for a few months how would you go about re-hydrating it?
