There are busy & exciting times afoot amongst the GRO Project staff & volunteers. We had a steep learning curve dealing with the natural phenomonen of  fungi competitors embedding themselves in our nutritious substrates. We wanted oyster mushrooms, not uninvited guests! So, we went back to basics. We built & sourced much needed equipment & redefined our methodology. Now, we're looking far more ship shape as a mushroom farm, and we're happy to say, we're around 6 weeks out from having a nice flush of gourmet mushrooms beautifying our otherwise plain looking shelves in the mushroom fruiting room. Go the mighty shroom.

One of the highlights of the project is that we are sourcing local waste streams & growing our delectables on them. Resource efficiency is where it's at. Free grow mixes & nutritient bases providing a food source for the community.

There is still a fair way to go however for the whole project, and we can use assistance from many skill sets. The process of theoretical learning, applying it, being inventive & resourceful, & watching the fruits of consistent labour flourish into a functional farm is both rewarding & engaging. I highly recommend coming down and checking it out, along with the vibrant space created here for everyone at the farm.

We have started to clear the space for installation and the project will be ready for showcasing at the Open Gardens Australia  weekend on the 25th and 26th of May. Be sure to mark it on your calendar because it will be a great weekend that you won't want to miss!
