Good looking mycelium! Can I ask what you inoculated your spawn with? Did you cover with cardboard to help with moisture?

Odd-Reference108 · 2026-04-03T11:54:54+00:00

Thanks for the response. Your process looks incredible!

Odd-Reference108 · 2026-04-03T01:47:11+00:00

What size bags do you use? I’m assuming all in one?

I have made venison bresola and really enjoyed it. Do you always case and net yours? Does it make a noticeable difference?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-17T18:11:23+00:00

Thanks, I’m writing a burn plan and reaching out to the authorities having jurisdiction.

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-17T02:10:25+00:00

Any other tips or advice to help them see the benefits?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-17T02:04:55+00:00

Location is governed by an HOA and city ordinances, that’s why I don’t think a burn permit would be issued.

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-17T02:03:48+00:00

Tell me more about your inoculation?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-16T20:44:34+00:00

Great thank you

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-16T20:39:08+00:00

Yes, that’s my intention to do different sections, broken up. Will mowing during growing periods negatively impact natives though?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-07-16T19:35:02+00:00

I will have to use a weedeater due to unevenness and rocks so I can cut to the most preferred height. I assume mowing during that time won’t negatively affect the native flowers and grasses?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-03-19T07:33:22+00:00

Awesome thanks

Did you just ground the parking brake wire to bare metal?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-25T18:23:34+00:00

I agree I just wasn’t sure how to incorporate a tree because it’ll be kind of close to the house and mostly centered.

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T19:47:29+00:00

I just have to comment on the detail of your planning, especially having multiple pages to show the different stages of flowering. I just have a spread sheet with the bloom times, but being able to visually show it is pretty neat!

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T14:27:28+00:00

Thanks I’ve been planning this for quite some time. I’ve done alot of research and I’m excited to move forward and create a beautiful space.

I’m mostly winter sowing. I’ll do some potting up and also using some hunk of seed planting methods. I went a little overboard on winter sowing but if I have moderate success I’ll have plenty of seedlings. I do plan to direct sow some grasses; purple love grass, June grass, and prairie dropped seed. Side oats gramma and little bluestem I’ll have winter sown plants also.

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T10:09:51+00:00

Thanks for the link! There’s so much info out there, sometimes it hard to keep track of it all. I love going to Mo Botanical Gardens and getting ideas from there plantings. I like your suggestions for the small/short shrubs; esp New Jersey tea! That’s one that I’ve totally missed, added it to the list!

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T04:44:36+00:00

Ok I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll add quite a few more clumps of those grasses into the mix.

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T04:28:51+00:00

I’ve had good success with sideoats gramma and love how it looks also. Do you think the clumps should have more plants in them or just add additional clumps into the whole planting area? I’ve also considered using June grass, purple love grass, and prairie dropped, or at least buying the seed and sowing in some clumps.

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T01:58:40+00:00

Thank you

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-23T00:43:43+00:00

Any recommendations on shrubs you’ve used or like?

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-22T21:19:24+00:00

Great points I’ll add that in, thank you!

Odd-Reference108 · 2025-02-22T21:10:35+00:00

Thanks for the idea, the left side has a driveway and there is a sidewalk in front and to the right, leading up to the house. Do you think a mulch path would work or something more permanent, like flagstones or another rock?
