LOL - I want the convienience a kit brings

[forager]

I'm often looking for things to grow over winter as I miss the outdoor growing

that's exactly what i do winter can get boring for people who like to grow, so i focus on mushrooms in the winter and outdoor plants in the summer.

I grew Spring Onions one year... in a washing machine, 'pod' box

Not that hard. You need a pressure canner if you want to go the DIY route and not the kit.

How would a pressure canner help any?

They are used to sterilize the grain jars that you use for your spores to grow in, everything has to be super sterilized or you will get molds and bacteria growing with your mycelium.

Hmmm... the kit I'm after is only about £15

Does it need to be pressurized? I mean you only boil jars for canning and that's good enough to store food in.

You can do it without the pressure cooker but you need to boil the jars for atleast an hour, three times 24 hours apart.

I'm gutted that I sold my pressure cooker after the incident.

What's wrong with 1 3-hour session?
