Not pasteurizing compost

dscid · 04-26-08, 10:58

Is this a very risky thing to do - spawn straight to a new package of Manure Compost? Or is it, like always, something that might potentially contam hard?

The only reason is, I cold shocked/dunked and they are scheduled to be taken out of the fridge in less than 2hrs. (24hr dunk)

But, I just was able to get the compost...pasteurizing would be fine if I didn't have to let it cool down overnight...Can I speed up the cool down, so my cakes don't mess up waiting on this to work?

Any quick help would REALLY be appreciated right now! Thanks ahead

don't be in a hurry.
drain water off cakes,
pasteurize the compost.
shaving off 1 day is not worth risking everything.

The only time pasteurization can be skipped for compost is when growing outdoors imo.

Like Hip says, take your time. Your cakes will be fine waiting an extra day while you pasteurize your compost.

That helps a lot.

I had two oven-bags ...divided it equally

Cept, I went oven with one and stove boil with other. But...Looks like the oven is going to take longer. I'm not sure if it's even working. Regardless after 2 hours of it in the oven I was going to take it out and I wasn't sure if I needed to add to the moisture in the oven oven-bag right afterwards, or wait until tomorrow right before spawning? Both? :P

Meh, I shouldn't have tried to this without having slept
