Recycling old cakes to an outdoors patch?

Recommended Posts

Like the title suggests :P Once the cakes are spent, they are used to innoculate a patch in your backyard. This patch should contain manure and pre-soaked straw, as per the thread at:Outdoor Cubensis Tek

Anyone tried/recommend this method?

Yeah, works great. Couldn't think of anything better to do with a spent cake. I've also used a casing in which the casing layer contamed. Just scraped off the casing layer and away she went in the manure. Outdoors kicks ass.

might I ask what sort of temps were outdoors at the time of your outdoors patch? and does the patch re-fruit several times over the year/s?

Usually they fruit when temps are averaging daytime highs of 23-26 degrees...so here in South Island NZ thats from about late december thru late february. Gotta keep em watered. Will flush 2-4 times ish. Mine die over the winter but I guess it depends where you live and how big the beds are.
