Maybe it doesn't work as well with the larger blocks, but with sawdust pellets you can measure out the dry ingredients directly into the bags, shake them up by hand a bit, and pour in the proper amount of water and let sit to expand and then sterilize. No mixing and filling.
I've watched your one of your videos with the ribbon mixer and I'm 100% sold on this style of concrete mixer, it looks very practical. I think unless scaling up massively just get a second and run them in tandem, mixing one while working with the other substrate, the labour is fine. and if anyone has played No Mans Sky that is exactly what I picture in my head lol
Just make your own lid? Sheet of plywood, 17.5" diameter circle. Saw or jigsaw or hacksaw if you trust yourself Then add a raised edge with a strip of metal or what I would do is just drill 4-8 3"x2" strips so you can crimp the lid shut and use bungees for extra protection.
It's always fun to watch your videos! I plan to start growing the lion's mane. I think that my scale will not be large and I will also have to do everything myself. I wish you all the best!
Nothing wrong with that!! Great mixer! Thank you for sharing. I really learn a lot by seeing what everyone around the world comes up with on how they like to do the steps. Gives us all shared ideas to try as we all do our best to save money until we can afford proper equipment 🙏👍🙏🇨🇦
Glad to see you're back! I enjoy your videos and get a lot out of them for an aspiring mushroom farmer from across the ditch. Any reason you use oak specifically for Shiitake? I think I remember that you use Masters mix for your other species. Would it not work for these?
@@OakandSpore thanks your sense for comedy . Okay Iran is amazing but not that amazing :) . Didn’t go to desert ? Here is growing some kind of edible agaricus in deserts sand in spring if it has rained before .

Yes this is what I do for all my other blocks where I use pellets.

Thank you for making these vids; I'm just starting out, and you are very helpful. Aloha from Maui
How on earth did you find a lid to fit it? My mixer has a 16” inside diameter and 17” outside diameter and I’ve wasted hours trying to find a lid.

Very practical ...I try a same but only with oak dust for start? For small scale...
I could understand what the Chicken was saying.... Chur
Great idea with the lid 👍🏻 I will test this in the near future myself, thanks!
The lid really cleaned up the whole process.
Oak and Spore Mushroom Farm I can imagine, also would give me more volume per batch.
Check out Instagram if you want to see my version 👍🏻
Nice video.. How many bags u get out of this mix?
What about a make shift concrete mixer chute?
that was the dryest joke not watching tv xD
How's your arm feeling man ? Sore as hell today ? Did you get the bicep sown back on today?

Shiitake prefers supplemented hardwood, where as oysters can consume a wider range of high nutrition substrate.
Thanks for your support!
That wheat bran might have pesticides that are causing your mutations.
If we use other saw dust other than oak wood saw dust, will it be productive too?
Just make sure its hard wood saw dust
Ahoy! Say, what size cement mixer is used in the video?
The largest i could find!
what is this material you are using ????
Compressed material but what is its content?
increasing in volume in water???
Its oak sawdust
@@OakandSpore okey thankss
Is there any reason you don't use hardwood pellets for the shiitake?
You cannot get them in New Zealand.
great stuff
Thanks!
Thanks!
is that a fire air raid siren droning in the background noise?
I reckon that's a Guinea fowl
Yeet
Churr and yeet
Yeet!
Love u shoot out from iran
Hello Iran! I visited Iran a few years ago. Tabriz, Mashad, and of course Tehran! Its an amazing country.
@@OakandSpore thanks your sense for comedy .
Okay Iran is amazing but not that amazing :) . Didn’t go to desert ? Here is growing some kind of edible agaricus in deserts sand in spring if it has rained before .
nice jacket!
Thanks!
How about using sawmill dust ? Or furniture dust ?
Absolutely! The stuff I was using in the video is from a furniture mill.
@@OakandSpore how can i fill the spawn into the subtract ? Could you please send me link ? If you have any video .
You need to sterilize the bag, then innoculate it with spawn in front of a flow hood.
@@OakandSpore thank you sir ..love you from nepal .
Oak and Spore Mushroom Farm hi!! How mani liters is your mixer?
