Sterilizing Your Bags

There are many ways to sterilize your bags. For small operations (new farms) using a pressure cooker can help you sterilize several small bags at one time.

At this time we are considering offering grow bags, and even possibly pre-sterilized grow bags with the fast fruiting mix in our store. You can check back often or monitor our mushroom growing business group for announcements on this and other offers.

Larger farms will want to purchase larger containers for mass sterilization. The goal of all sterilizers is heat, and steam. When possible also pressure to speed up the process.

 

Some farms have used solar heating to treat their bags in specially prepared micro greenhouses with Fresnel lenses or other forms of solar magnification. Again the key is the high temperature and when possible steam.
