The Sandbag Tek by Sandman

Please disregard the old pdf I can't seem to remove it. It is outdated somewhat.

The bags: 2 mil flat poly bags minimum, 3 mil+ are a little stouter but not necessary if you are careful with the mixing.

24x24 works OK but I'm using 30x30 bags because I have them. So you will notice there is some extra flap of the bag hanging over the 24" wide shelf in my pics.

Begin:

One block of coir (600 grams give or take) goes in a 30x30 2mil bag and that goes in a bucket.


Heat up some water to about 170 degrees and dispense it into gallon jugs about 7/8 full:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Pour a jug into each bag:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Pull the top of the bag up and make sure the coir is nicely submerged:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wad up and tuck the top of the bag in snugly and let the bag sit for a while to expand:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Take the bag out and it should look like this:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Break up the big chunks of coir through the outside of the bag:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Add about 3 quarts of verm to the bag:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Carefully gather up the top of the bag and fold it over a few times in your hand so it's closed snug:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Then hold that wad of bag up and mix the contents:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


After mixing you can grab a handful of sub through the bags exterior and squeeze to check field capacity. Add more verm if too wet:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Open the top and add your spawn. I use a 5 lb spawn bag of grain to inoculate the bag. Not pictured.

Wad and grip the bag top again and mix it up. Turn the bags contents inside so the spawn is evenly mixed.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Your about done now we just have to add the breathing apparatus.

Hold the top of the bag up and use a razor blade to cut a small + in the plastic. 2 on each side about like a mono tub position:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wad up a piece of polyfil aka pillow stuffing. I'm using an actual new pillow it's cheaper:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Poke em in the holes:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Do both sides. Should look about like this hot stuff:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now you just gotta roll the top down nice and neat and carry it to your shelf and pin it up. I use binder clips and a heavy duty wire shelf:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


That's it, now just wait for fruits:
