How to make mushrooms using MF Coffee grounds.

 

Good evening MF Product blog readers, it’s blog time and today we shall be talking about mushrooms and MF Coffee can be used if you want to grow mushrooms fast and organically. Just in case you didn’t know, mushrooms only thrive in specific conditions and are notoriously difficult to grow, which is why a detailed plan is needed to explain how to grow them correctly.

First things first, they do not grow in ordinary garden soil, this is because they require a substrate, or underlying substance or layer so that it can be used for energy and nutrition. A good substrate is required in order for the mushroom to grow and to fruit to its highest capabilities. Used MF Coffee grounds make a great substrate because they are packed full of nutrients that mushrooms like to grow on. What’s also particularly interesting is the fact that sterilisation doesn’t even need to occur as the brewing process of coffee has done that already.

Anyways, we’re now going to give you a step by step tutorial on how to grow mushrooms using MF Coffee grounds.
  1. Gather about 2.5 kg of grounds and dampen them using a spray bottle.
  2. Add a little over 500 grams of mushroom bacterium and sawdust mixture and blend well. (You can find this product at your local gardening store).
  3. Place said mixture into a filter patch grow bag, large freezer bag or bucket and fill until roughly around one-half to two-thirds is full.
  4. Cut four air holes, approximately 5 mm in size, into the sides of your container above the grounds. You may be using an open container, in that case, cover it with cellophane and poke with a few more small air holes.
  5. Gently spray the MF Coffee grounds with water once daily or as needed to keep them moist.
  6. Then, in two to four weeks when you start to see dense white areas with little budding mushrooms, move the container to an area with lighter and fresher air.
  7. When the mushrooms become plump and their caps turn upward, you can begin to harvest them.
And that’s it, not particularly hard is it? Just add adequate moisture and MF Coffee grounds and you’re ready to go and make perfectly healthy and fruitful mushrooms.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

Benefits of pimento (also known as allspice).

Before we get into the benefits of pimento, at MF Products UK we believe we must look at a foods history first and learn about its origin. So, without further ado let’s look into pimento which is also known as allspice. The pimento tree is indigenous to the Caribbean Islands. It was found growing in Jamaica by early Spanish explorers who were quite impressed with its tantalising taste and aroma of the berries and the leaves. Pimento trees were then later discovered in Cuba and were presumed to have been taken there by migrant birds who had eaten the berries. They have also been found in Mexico, but it is Jamaica that has the longest history, having been in continuous production since the tree was identified in about the year 1509. The name Pimento originated from the Spanish word "pimienta" which meant ‘peppercorn’. To most English-speaking people the tree is called "pimento" and the berries "allspice". The name allspice originated from the widespread n...
