Tony, you're an excellent communicator. Gratitude for your helpful videos!

I like the fact that the methods your suggesting are in this case very simple and possible for some one even with out lots of equipment to set up or at least possible on a budget

Man, I can't tell how helpful your videos are, thanks a lot, God bless you, you're my hero Haha Greetings from Brazil!

You put a lot of production value into your videos and it shows man. I watched about 4 of these before I figured I should subscribe. Very cool! :)

Great job. Gearing up for another grow season here in Sydney and your videos are really helpful!

Thats it, I bingewatched most of your videos, but this one knocked it out of the ballpark. I'm growing Oysters now.

Awesome video Tony. Am going to use this method. This simple procedure is very much what I want to stick with for cultivating mushrooms!

Great. I was looking out for videos with Lime pasteurisation and I got this. Now I am clear to use dehydrated lime.

Hi Tony Nice watching your channel😍 God bless♥️

Thanks, Tony! Your videos are fantastic. I've watched how you grow mushrooms on mushroom beds outside without pasteurising the straws. Do you recommend pasteurising the straws before inoculating them to grow mushrooms outside? Would that make it less hard for other things outside to grow in the mushroom bed or will pasteurising makes no difference when growing outside?

He is a really cool dude and keep everything simple. Thank you!

Could you do a video on on that outdoor fruiting chamber? I've been toying around with a similar design, and I like what you came up with. Can you enclose that wooden frame in plastic sheeting?

Using a broadhead is genius 👌 👏 🙌

Great video Tony! Where do you get the poly tubes to make the logs?

For draining our limed straw we took a plastic garbage can and drilled holes in the bottom. We then forked it in there when done to drain and placed a heavy weight on it overnight. it was fine the next morning to load into the growing containers. You can use the garbage can for regular use by just using a bag in it.

perfect

Great video..the start to finish videos are always the best...this seems way easier than boiling.....I'm going to buy a new barrel today. I have had success will small scale hydrogen peroxide pasteurization before but I think I'm really going to like the lime method.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the comment. Yes, this method really is fantastic. You can re-use the lime water as well (add more straw for another soak), or even measure it out so you have just enough water to pasteurize the lime, with almost none left over. I can't believe how good it works!

Great video as usual, BUT please tell us more about your mini makeshift greenhouse you had them in !!!!! What RH% you aiming for ? Are the sides open for more airflow.

So I have been reading a lot of your articles, great articles by the way. Using the straw substrate, how well do you tot would work with the bottle method of growing mushrooms? Also in comparison to fully sterilizing the straw, and lime pasteurization, is it that much more successful?

Hi Tony. Loving al your videos. I'm new to growing mushrooms. We have high magnesium levels in our water, will that be a problem to cultivate mushrooms?

I love your hole poker, I bet does wonders on deers😉

Great instruction sir! What kind of yields are you getting with this method?

4:07 soooo satisfying

Hi Freshcap, thanks for the video, just wondering, what is the best humidity rate for the substrate once you put it in the bag?

Hey! Any Idea if this works on hardwood sawdust? Thanks for all the info you share!

I like how you set them up outside but that would be destroyed in a day in Saskatchewan. We rarely get a day without wind, and usually it's more than enough to blow that plastic away or shred it. Our tarp shed is done after just 2 winters.

Love your videos and your positivity! I did this method and have oysters that have been in a dark cool room for about 3 weeks but have not started pinning yet. Should I bring them outside or just wait to see what happens?

Watching ur vlogs..

Tony, another great video. I'm in the process of trying this pasteurization process out but with 3.5 gallon buckets...will let you know how it goes. One question: is the water and lime mixture a one use thing or could you pasteurize multiple batches of straw by possibly adding a bit more water and lime...basically trying to see if there is a way to save water. Thx

Thank you brother It helps me altot and I can understand very easily Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

You technique for growing oyster mushroom its look so easy to do.. thanks for sharing. and question pls! here where i live straw is not available and only hay or dry grass that use to feeds animals is only available at agricultural supply is this will works the same as straw? thanks! in advace.

Tony, could hydrated lime be added to fuel pellets & bran to skip using the pc?

the graphics on this video is great, what video card you use

is it acceptable to use this cold water lime pasteurization with wood chips as well? love the vids, thanks!

In the bucket videos I’ve seen, massive clusters will grow out of holes that are only a quarter inch big So presumably it’s the same puncture size with the bag

Hey Tony. What was the dry straw quantity you pasteurised. Greetings from India. God bless you.

Going how's it going my friend, I enjoy watching your videos on growing mushrooms but I have a question if I may, where can I buy the spawn seeds like you showing your videos that you mix in with the hay or Rye or any of the other ones that you use different mushrooms with oh, but I want to get a few different strands of mushrooms to grow so that I can enjoy different ones like the blue oyster yellow oyster the king oyster the shiitake mushrooms as well as button tops and different varieties of those as well.?

Eh are you adding additional gypsum to your substrate or does the lime cover that, mineral wise?

Nice, as in Hydrated lime same as builders lime for mortar? and do you check your PH after?

The drier, the less probable it is for wood's own defense against mushrooms and such is still active. Hardwood, green grass, whatever is used. I believe there is another reason, also, so...all growers I have read say 1-year old substrate. I am hoping that the lime will take of this, though, since I have no way to know how old mine is GL to all!

Awesome! So with the measurements it's metric and imperial but would equate to 300g lime to 208 litres? (15g to 10.4 L) assuming US gallon not UK
