Firstly, a big welcome to everybody who has just joined the GroCycle Online Course. We’re pretty excited to form this online hub based around growing mushrooms on coffee and we’re really pleased that you’re part of it.
- Purpose of the forum & how we will contribute
The purpose of this forum is to add to and follow on from the course materials by providing a place for on-going learning and discussion and for you to connect with other course members around the world. It is made primarily for the community to use and to support each other in the learning, but we will try to contribute as much as we can as well wherever time allows.
We have a large workload for a small non-profit business so this means that we won’t always be able to reply instantly, or to every post. However we will do our best and we’d also really welcome the community to help each other out and contribute as much as you can. We’re pretty sure there are some people out there that have some great knowledge to share!
In general the topics should relate to the technique of how to grow mushrooms on coffee grounds or areas covered in the course.
As much as we’d like to be able to help answer questions about different ways to build a growing room or offer business advice, these topics usually depend on many variables and are full of further questions which we just don’t have enough time to support. We are looking at creating a follow up course to address these areas which will be a much more efficient way of helping.
- How to start a Topic or Reply to one
The forum is organised into 4 main sub-forums:
- Cultivation Area
- Growing Success
- Community Area
- Course Feedback
To create a new topic:
Due to a bug in the way the forum integrates with this site, there is a slightly laborious way you will need to follow to start a topic by copy and pasting your topic text as a reply (we are working to fix this asap)
i.) Pick the relevent forum and then under where it says ‘Create New Topic’ add a title, followed by your text in the box below.
ii.) Now select and copy the text you have written for the topic (you will need to re-paste this text as a ‘reply’ for it to display under your topic).
iii.) Click ‘submit’ to create your topic and then when you see it published in the forum, click through to view it and paste your text as a reply.
This will then show as the text for your topic underneath the topic title.
To reply to someone else’s topic:
i.) Navigate to the forum the topic is in
ii.) Click through to the topic itself
iii.) Below the topic there is a text box to add your reply and click submit.
If you have a suggestion for us to add a new area to the forum, just drop us an email to support@growmushroomsoncoffee.com and let us know your thoughts.
Happy growing!
Adam & Eric
