Hey Good People,
This is my first post here. I'm hoping to start my first indoor organic grow soon using coco, vermiculite , composted lawn clippings and composted hpoo - all stuff i have lying around . The lawn clippings are well aged and full of life with random bugs running through it. Im afraid they or their eggs will cause complications with my grow later.
So im hopping to eliminate them by pasteurization the hpoo and lawn clippings before making up my mix. I have a couple of myco grow bags and a pasteurizing kettle i hope to do this in. Usually 2 hrs between 140°F-175°F does the trick for growing mushrooms without killing all the good bacteria as well.
Is this a worthwhile approach or is it overkill? should i avoid it altogether and just leave the critters be?
thanks
