Soaker hose idea failure
    #9254701 - 11/16/08 12:32 PM (15 years, 3 months ago)

My partner and I had what we thought was a good idea for making a pasteurized straw bed with a 25' soaker hose whirled under the top layer.  The idea being after a 1st flush we could turn on the hose for a few hours and the entire bed would rehydrate for the 2nd flush.  Even though we thoroughly wiped down the hose with alcohol green mold set in everywhere the hose touched at about 12 days into colonization.

My thoughts are that soaker hose has lots of trapped pores that dont open up unless water pressure is behind it so just wiping down the outside does no good.  So sad... I lost a whole days work and am out now 50lbs of fresh mushies.  Live you learn...

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise.  Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated.  For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

Thanks for sharing the results.  I had similar experience several years ago when I tried inserting PVC pipe with holes drilled into substrates as a way to hydrate.  I figured the air that's admitted via the pipe or hose carries the contaminant spores.
