If you detail the process, then I will follow. :0)
I have used the sawdust pellets to grow mushrooms for years.
I want to do this.
BTW, I got my crab shells today. I decided to make one small batch
of compost with it, about 20 gallons. I made it veeeery rich, and it will
be cooking for weeks. I added some kelp flakes, sock rock phosphate,
feather meal, and humic additive, and a mess of wheat bran to fire it up.
My thinking is to mix this batch into my soil for the garden.
My main soil pile* just had six/two bags of horse/chicken manure, a bunch
of smashed up mushroom blocks, and coffee grounds added to it. I mixed it
up and watered it well. It will cook on its own in the meanwhile.
* BTW: I seem to be soil making more than anything else, as no matter whether
I have all my containers filled with plants, I am always working on a new pile
of soil. When I buy more containers, I make more soil. It is cool, as the soil
in So Cal is decomposed granite and is just a tad more nutritious than plain old
granite. :0)
Take care,
