How to SPAWN Grain to Coir Bulk Substrate | A Beginner's Guide to Mushroom Growing
In this video, I'll show you how to spawn colonized grain to a bulk substrate. Specifically, we're using colonized popcorn grain as our spawn and coco coir as our bulk substrate. Spawning to bulk is an important step in mushroom cultivation and one of our last before we grow our mushrooms!
Basically, we take our colonized grain spawn and mix it with our pasteurized coir. Be sure to check out my video on how to pasteurize coir using the Bucket Tek method. After mixing, we pat it down in a clean tub and then put on a lid. Next is the waiting game! We'll wait 10-14 days before opening the lid and moving to fruiting conditions.
So if you're ready to start growing your own mushrooms, be sure to watch this video and learn everything you need to know about spawning to a bulk substrate. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more great mushroom-growing tips and tricks!

Does This Fruit Really Taste Like Chocolate Pudding? Black Sapote Tasting & Growing
Today we'll be exploring black sapote to find out if this fruit really tastes like chocolate pudding. I'll also talk a bit about growing them, and show you my black sapote trees that I grew from seed, including showing you the things that went well and not so well with the growing in my experience.
Black sapote (Diospyros nigra), also called chocolate pudding fruit, are in the persimmon family, and are native to Mexico, Central America and Columbia. Seedlings are frost tender, but when mature and established, the trees can survive light frosts and temperatures down to around -2.2C (28F).
These fruit trees are quite beautiful and the unusual fruit is like nothing I've tried before. Definitely a great rare fruit tree to incorporate into a subtropical garden.
If these are too tropical to grow in your area, I also show my persimmon tree, (related to black sapote), which might be a more suitable option for you to grow in your area. My tree is a 'Fuyu' Persimmon and can be grown down to USDA cold hardiness Zone 7.
☕ Buy me a coffee :)
