How to grow button mushrooms at home? (part 2)

Growing mushrooms at home

Sometimes, people design a small breeding hall to gain experience and training and trial and error to set up bigger and even industrial halls, so that they can test themselves and prepare for bigger projects.

The space used to grow mushrooms at home should be chosen in a way that is economical for us, because we spend time and energy, and it should be economically justified so that it is not boring and boring.

Many heads of families, in addition to having a main job to make a living, also need a second job to provide a more comfortable life for their family. In addition to men's second job, many housewives can also learn how to grow button mushrooms, after housekeeping at home (in the basement or any other place where environmental conditions can be created for mushroom cultivation). Earn money.

In this article, we want to set up a 5-ton mushroom growing room at home in a basic way:

The space required to set up a 5-ton salon:

The minimum space required for 5 tons of compost (in a mushroom growing room at home), so that the amount of mushrooms obtained can compensate the costs, depending on the time, the amount of 1 ton to 1.2 tons of mushrooms can be obtained from it. picked up

5 meters in width and at least 8 meters in length and 3 meters in height is enough for 5 tons of compost, and the more these dimensions are, the more the field for production will be, but dimensions smaller than this amount may not be economically justified.

Front hall:

For this hall, we should have a small room with dimensions of 2x2 or 5.1x5.2. This chamber is for the purpose of cooling the air in this place with a cooler and then entering the hall, or heating the air with a heater and then sending it to the hall, or using this chamber as a small warehouse during harvesting times.

categorizing:

Shelving For these hall dimensions of 5x8, two rows of shelves with a width of 140 cm and a length of 7 meters with 3 floors can be considered. The distance between floors is usually considered 65-70 cm. Shelving is better to choose from galvanized pipes and close with galvanized wire.

Air circulation system:

The air circulation system can be placed in the middle or on the sides of the hall. In small units, due to the fact that there is no circulation and we only have air entry, ventilation is from the middle, and the air channel must be drawn from the middle of the corridor.

We must install an exhaust outlet at the end of the hall that is connected to the open air, and if it is not connected to the open air, we must exhaust it to the open air through a channel.

humidifier:

If the problem of the sound of the humidifier is not important, we can use small humidifiers that do not need a cooler and cool the air anymore, and these humidifiers both cool the air and provide moisture.

air ducts:

It is better to use plastic ducts with a width of 50 cm for ventilation ducts, otherwise, you can create ventilation ducts with polyethylene plastic in such a way that the first hole is drilled at the entrance of the ventilation unit to the hall and the subsequent holes 5 cm in diameter at a distance of 50 cm.
