poo/straw log

bluehoney · 05-30-06, 15:49

so after much reading and researching I still haven't come to an answer that makes sense to me...

Could someone please explain why using hpoo in a straw log is a bad idea?

What about the environment of a log is so different than a casing tray that would make this hard to do??

It is not just a terrible idea. If you use just enough poo to coat the straw then everything will work great. If you use too much poo then you may cause a colonization problem. The mycelium may have problems colonizing tightly packed big clumps of poo, which could lead to contamination.. That is the only problem I have had with poo/straw logs.
