Growing Pearl Oyster Mushrooms in bags Behold, for we have home-grown pearl oyster mushrooms, and you can too. The process of growing them from scratch is not that tricky once you know how, and results in a luscious harvest of fresh oyster mushrooms. First of all, you need good spawn. For this session, our Mushroom Cultivation educator Will Borowski used a block of grain spawn that he’d grown at home, but you can buy a block of spawn if you’re not quite up to speed on that step. Will Borowski empties a bag of grain spawn into a tub of freshly sterilized straw Fully colonized grain spawn on straw, ready to mix Will mixes it all in with freshly washed hands Students start filling the bags Hooray! Finished mushroom bag, languishing amongst other student resources So there you have it. For these bags we used the off-the-shelf bag necks that you can get from mushroom suppliers, but you could cut down plastic bottle necks to do the same job. Bag neck with foam inserted to prevent contamination while the straw gets its oysters on.

Places Birds Sleep © Alfred Jansen + Martin Langhorst Protecting birds is a worthwhile cause for many reasons, but it doesn't hurt to remember the many ways they benefit humans. Birds keep insect populations under control, spread seeds, pollinate plants and in cities, they even help keep things clean by eating dropped food or picking up pieces of trash to use in their nests. As cities upgrade old buildings, many of the holes, cracks and other nooks and crannies birds have used as shelter are sealed up, which reduces potential nesting spots. Since we're pretty much to blame for destroying their homes, we can help out by putting up bird houses to keep our bug-eating buddies flying around. Here are a bunch from the TreeHugger archive. Birdhouses for Multiple Birds Urban birds need places to nest and thankfully a number of artists have found beautiful and creative ways to address this problem. Andreu Carulla's NeighBirdHood Andreu Carulla's NeighBirds is a clever take on the birdhouse. © Andreu Carulla © Nendo

Growing Shiitake Mushrooms on Sawdust Spawn We’re getting very excited about growing delicious culinary mushrooms at Milkwood. Ever since we ran our first mushroom cultivation course in January, they’re springing up all over the place. One of the easiest and cheapest ways to grow them is on sawdust spawn that you can make yourself… Adam and Will mixing sawdust with straw to make substrate Straw and sawdust all mixed together, now all ready to bag up Students fill the mushroom bags with the substrate mix Bag packing and sealing time… All packaged up and ready to sterilise Easy substrate sterilization technique #1 – 44 gallon drum with boiling water beneath bags – steam technique Easy substrate sterilization technique #2 – the good ol’ pressure cooker (much quicker, good for small batches) Loading up the pressure cooker. One week later… mycelium running… Ta da! The next course we’ll be running on mushroom cultivation is in Sydney in May. Hopefully we can get a Sydney home mushroom growers club started! We run Mushroom Cultivation courses!

Masanobu Fukuoka - Reverdir le desert Masanobu Fukuoka est un autre de ces pionniers de l'agriculture "du long terme" (sustainable) qui se sont rendus à là 2ème conférence internationale de PermaCulture.. Nous nous sommes entretenus avec lui alors qu'il visitait la "Abundant Life Seed Foundation" de Port Townsend à Washington, quelques jours avant qu'il ne présente sa conférence. Il aime dire de lui qu'il n'a aucune connaissance hormis celle contenue dans ses livres, dont La révolution d'un seul brin de paille (Chez Trédaniel - Editions de la Maisnie, 1983) et The Natural Way of Farming, démontrant ainsi qu'il ne manque pas de sagesse.. Sa méthode d'agriculture ne nécessite pas de labour, pas de fertilisants ni de pesticides, pas de désherbage ni d'élagage ainsi que très peu de travail! Il accomplit tout cela (y compris des rendements élevés) grâce à une extrème précaution dans la détermination de la période de semis tout comme dans le choix des combinaisons de plantes (polyculture).

Mushrooms - Fresh & Cultivated Savoir revivre (Jacques Massacrier) Growing Mushrooms Whilst most of the world’s mushroom supply comes from commercial mushroom farms, growing mushrooms is not as simple as many people believe. In fact, mushroom growing is one of the most technologically advanced and sophisticated agricultural industries in the world. Commercial mushroom production costs are high and require extensive capital investment. Whether you grow on small scale as a hobby; or on a larger scale, modern mushroom production is highly mechanized, requiring detailed knowledge and a high level of management skill and commitment for success. This commitment is required from the start all the way through to cropping and marketing. In South Africa the white button and brown mushrooms are mainly grown, both of these belonging to the genus Agaricus. Less than 5% of the mushroom market is taken up by so called exotic mushrooms, including Pleurotus spp (Oyster mushrooms) and Lentinula spp (Shiitake). The basic process of growing Agaricus Mushrooms is set out below Ingredients 2.

Growing Your Own: Beginners and Balcony Gardeners Permaculture Forums, Permaculture Courses, Permaculture Information & News Here are a few useful tips to growing your own fresh organic food when you are low on space, time and gardening know-how. If you love the idea of a food forest but are seriously lacking in space and knowledge, you might consider starting out with a few pots of green leafy vegetables and herbs. Fresh organic greens and herbs are not only nutritious and delicious but often decline rapidly in quality as soon as they are picked. These are all excellent reasons to devote them a little spot of soil at home! Below are some tips and plant recommendations from a gardening novice. When you buy leeks or green onions (the latter is also known as shallots and spring onions) from the market, cut off the root end leaving a few centimetres for good measure and plant in the ground or in a pot. Acquire some beets, plop them in the soil and you could be eating their nutritious leaves for months. Plant some Malabar spinach.
