Plastic Free Mushroom Farming

We discuss why plastic bags are so widely used in mushroom growing and take a look at some alternatives.
One of the most common bits of feedback we've heard from people is something along the lines of:

"why do you have to use so much plastic?"

And it's a fair point...

Single-use plastic bags are widely used in the mushroom industry, and with millions of tons of substrate filled into bags each year, it's a really harmful practice that needs to be addressed.

So that's what we're looking at in this week's video:

In the video we take a look at:

- Why plastic bags are used so much in mushroom cultivation
- Alternative options like beds, buckets and bottles

- Biodegradeable bags (and why they're not the answer we're all hoping for)
- Why we're switching half of our production over to growing mushrooms in buckets
