Field notes

The worked setup separates spawn from wet substrate and estimates the dry rye needed to produce the chosen spawn quantity. It also reserves a portion of the CVG mix as a top layer before combining the rest with spawn. For the displayed batch, the page gives vermiculite as about 1.74 L and notes that the volume depends on grade.
