Hello.can i use cement sore lime for mashroom cultivation

[@lashbay5951]

Where did you get your Hydrated lime?

[@ale.ktheo.g4394]

is it ok to mix some type of bran on the mix and pasteurize like this?

[@kisuke6517]

can i do this on sawdust substrate?

[@zapperzip]

what brand or type of hydrated lime did you used?

[@robertimmanuel577]

It doesn't matter. As long as you get the ones with lesser magnesium.

[@m.d.498]

Does the straw smell bad after 24hr lime soak?

[@40yearoldvirgil15]

Would a hedge strimmer work to cut the bails up into slices?

[@PeterSedesse]

You want the pieces less than two inches long.

[@carlocarl4440]

Can i reuse the hydrated lime solution to cold pastuerize another batch of straw substrate?

[@PeterSedesse]

Yes

[@mohammedakber.s7597]

Hydrated lime is available in Amazon ? Please share

[@jeszbadge14]

Can we cold pasteur any kind of substrate like saw dust or rice hull?

[@PeterSedesse]

Yes

[@ryming8103]

how many minutes to cold pasteurize the substrate?

[@PeterSedesse]

Usually just overnight is good.. 10 hrs or so minimum,

[@Mushables]

I learned the bag way with wood pellets now I'm learning bucket way with straw

[@GoodVibes-jg5rd]

Where did you get the lime I can only find builders lime and the lime for gardens and plants😅

Southern States, a local farm supply store.

Can you Lime pasteurize grain substrate?

[@mookie2000mhhs]

I've never heard of that. It may be because it is more nutritious and would be easier for contamination to thrive, or it is dense enough that the lime doesn't penetrate to the center.

[@estephanieleos4479]

You can boil brown rice (not completely cooked about 7 minutes) drain rinse with fresh boiling water and use it like grain spawn 😊

[@aspjake123]

Could I just use pH up instead of lime?

Did you ever get an answer? Id like to know too

@@mcnowski you can.

@@dirtpoor9571 That makes things way easier, no lime residue in the barrel to rinse out either. Thanks

What do you do with the lime water when done?

[@mookie2000mhhs]

Poured it out in the yard. Most soil is acidic anyway, plus the next rain would dilute it pretty fast.

[@mookie2000mhhs]

@@nolanfoster6782 you could put it in the compost bin too, but I am not sure if it would help it or hurt it. Worst case scenario the compost takes longer to finalize. Best case is compost that will help neutralize the soil.

Based on my experience. Weed straw can be used.

Lime + water ratio

[@clemensf6159]

It should be about 1.5g per Liter, but you could probably go up to about 10g per Liter.
You don't need an exact ratio, I'd probably go for around 2 grams per liter.

[@edwardortman2593]

You don't show removing the straw from the tub or the drying process, do you do anything to rinse the straw out or to balance the ph somehow before using it?
This was filmed two years ago, did you succeed in the growth of these mushrooms?

[@lashbay5951]

I believe there’s no need to rinse, since most of it is water during the process
