Let's have a look at one of the products
0:02
we got from the garden press event. Now,
0:05
this is from Sutton's. It were from the
0:08
Sutton stand and these are a mushroom
0:12
growing kit. Now, I personally have
0:14
never tried mushroom growing and it's
0:17
always been on my bucket list to try and
0:20
just never got round to it. And when I
0:22
saw these, I thought, we're going to
0:23
give them a try and see if we can grow
0:26
mushrooms because I absolutely love
0:28
them. Really do love mushrooms. And
0:33
these are the white button mushroom. So,
0:37
a well-known variety. So, yeah, we're
0:40
going to give these a try and see how
0:41
well they get on. And these are easy to
0:44
grow at home. Just add water and pick
0:47
one week from one week up to three
0:50
harvests. So, we'll get some great
0:52
amount of mushrooms from this pack
0:54
hopefully. Now, has anyone actually
0:57
tried growing mushrooms themselves?
0:58
Because I've never grown, so I'm going
1:00
to need tips and advice myself. And
1:03
thankfully, it comes with instructions
1:07
of what to do. So, for best results,
1:10
start growing straight away or keep in
1:12
the fridge 2 to 10° for up to 14 days.
1:15
Your kit may show early signs of
1:17
mushrooms growth. It's alive and
1:19
thriving just as it should be. So, free
1:29
this pack in here. We have got
1:34
what seems to be in here.
1:38
What you put it all in. And let's have a
1:40
look. It's come in a proper propagator
1:45
And we have got the instructions in here
1:48
as well, which seems straightforward
1:51
and easy to follow. So hopefully we're
1:55
going to have some great mushrooms on
1:57
this. This set contains colonized
2:00
compost and a bag of cover soil. Take
2:04
the bag out with the cover oil from the
2:06
packaging and store in a cool place. So
2:11
now set aside with the lid closed for 5
2:13
to 8 days at a temperature of 20 to 25°.
2:16
So this needs to be in the house unless
2:19
I start them off in the poly tunnel when
2:20
it's warmer, but it says that you need
2:22
to start the kit straight away. So yeah,
2:25
um and you need to regularly mispay it
2:28
with a plant spray. So yeah, we are
2:31
going to have to try and grow this at
2:33
home, get it started at home because if
2:35
we're going to have to keep regularly
2:36
miss spraying it, we will need to do
2:39
that every few days or every day. So I'm
2:42
excited to try that and that'll be
2:45
really interesting. Let me know if
2:47
anybody else has grown mushrooms and how
2:48
you've got on and if you've had some
2:51
great harvest from them. Like I said,
2:52
it's always been on my bucket list to
2:54
try cuz I love mushrooms and I've never
2:57
actually tried them. So, it's all new to
2:59
me. So, this was from Sutton's and we
3:03
will be giving that a try and letting
3:05
you know how we get on. We'll keep
3:06
blogging it, keep sharing how we're
3:08
getting on with it all and sharing the
3:11
progress and hopefully sharing the
3:13
harvest, but not sharing the produce
3:16
with you cuz I'll be eating all them
3:17
myself. I can eat mushrooms just as they
3:20
are absolutely gorgeous. So, yeah,
3:22
that's from Sutton's. Let's give that a
3:24
try and let's see how well we get on
3:30
So, make sure you drop us a follow to
3:31
stay up to date with how well we get on
3:33
with our mushrooms. Until next time
3:35
everyone, remember keep smiling, keep
3:37
shining and keep gardening with Ben
