Gypsum for grain question???
    #8149088 - 03/15/08 11:31 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

So, I've decided to use gypsum in jars of grain. However, I can't find a source for just gypsum. Lowes carries a bag of "soil repair" which has gypsum, calcium, and 16% sulfur.

Is the sulfur harmful to a mushroom culture? I've read of people talking about PH effects of sulfur on casing as well as sulfur being a fungicide.

Should I get the soil repair or continue the hunt for Calcium Sulfate?

Thanks, all.

Haha, that's what I did... :smile:





And after beating those circles with a hammer in a plastic bag, I had this:



Works as advertised too, I had no clumps in any of my jars after PC'ing them.

1st grow complete, boy what a ride!

2nd grow will be the same as the first, only better!

The drywall repair sounds good, but I ended up getting some palletized gypsum at a garden center.  No sulfur.  Time to break out the mortal & pestle. :smile:
