Breaking New Ground
Today, after several months of research and hard work, Shiitake Happens broke ground on our little urban farm. Very exciting stuff!
We, or more accurately Ronny, started the demolition of a shipping contai

Ronny removed all of the wood 2x4's that lined the walls, because they are a great hiding place for competing mold and fungus. Next we'll remove the wooden flooring and the door, and replace them with water and mold resistant materials.
We're learning as we go, but at least we're going....
