    As straw of saw dust seem to be difficult to get around here, I am trying to experiment with coconut coir to aerate the substrate. Has anyone tried coconut coir in the substrate? Aan how about pasteurizing the coir?

    Hi Alvin,

    I have used coconut coir a long while back as a substrate and it worked fine. On it’s own it produces very low yields, but it could work well mixded in with the coffee frounds.

    Just pasteurise it by hydrating with boiling water shortly before you’re about to inoculate, and be careful to squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it in with your coffee.
