Ooh... I thought I would have a go at posting on our little blog seeing as Kate has gone to the trouble of setting it up. I am very excited that my mushrooms have finally sprouted. I bought a box of mushroom compost from Enfield Produce 3 weeks ago. It said it would take 2 weeks for them to sprout, they lied it took 3. The instructions also say just to water with a fine mist every second day but it didn't seem like the soil got wet enough so I have been watering it with a rainy watering can (FYI - this is the technical name for a watering can that makes the water come out just like rain). This was just a bit of practice until my book Sepp Holzer's Permaculture (with mushroom cultivating information) comes in the mail. I fear it will have quite a bit of mileage on it by the time it reaches me as I keep getting updates on its location - it appears this book is now more well travelled than I am. Damn!
Anyways, I have 3 of these babies at the moment... none of them much bigger than my thumbnail!
Yours in Fungi... Kell x x
