Nutrigain Organic mushroom suppl
Compost and liquid supplements for mushroom growers
Using a simple submersible pump. This model is 10,000L per hour capacity.
Dropped through the neck of the IBC and left for a period does a fantastic job.
Another possibility is a 4″ well pump that will drop straight through.
The best all around way is to have a pump connected to IBC with a ‘recirc’ loop and tap back to top of IBC
and a ‘T’ off for decanting product when ready. This way the IBC can be left in place while being emptied.
Here it is in action…..
We commissioned Prof Ralph Noble to conduct an independent test on our casing complement. Herewith is the summary report
NOTE: Due to circumstances Ralph was not able to put extra water in for 2nd flush which is what our customers do to increase and improve 2nd flushes. Ralph used a slightly different protocol to normal applications in case run and post 1st as some growers want to apply pre 1st flush and these tests were to prove that could be done without causing bacterial blotch or reducing whiteness which was of course the case.

We always state that IBC’s are agitated before they are drawn off and dilution. There are 2 alternatives; an air line ‘cable tied’ to a pole that can reach the bottom. Most of the time that works very well.
If however the product has been stored for a long time or maybe subject to warm conditions during shipment, it may have ‘dropped out’ more than usual (it is a suspension). Another alternative is to use a two handle ‘plaster mixer’ and to extend the shaft by cutting in two and welding both ends into a tube collar so that it can reach the bottom of the IBC. Within 10 minutes all should corrected and it should remain in suspension after that for another few weeks.
Once this has been done, for subsequent application a long wooden lath can be to agitate concentrate before drawing it off.
In the last two years we have made big moves forward in solving how to increase yield from current stagnant levels. The key is in having nutrition in two different growing zones at the same time; hence our continued approach with casing supplement with simple ‘water on’ solution.
We were not sure whether the yield increases were coming from water or dry matter and we are now sure it is the latter. You can, like others pick up 2-3kg/m² without interacting with the compost, so is worthy of serious consideration.#

Customers have asked us the best way to mix our products. We recommend the use of compressed air, it is very simple and easy as the You Tube video link demonstrates….
Tracking the temperature in the casing is really important for optimising your mycelium feeding
