Dr Ralph Noble
Rockwool, clay minerals, coal tailings, coconut coir, green wastes. There is a long list of potential peat alternatives, but how realistic are they in replacing peat in a commercial mushroom farm and what are the challenges?
If anyone can help us navigate this new era of sustainable casings it is Dr Ralph Noble.
Dr Noble has been researching peat alternatives in the UK for a number of years and has a clear idea about what works and what doesn’t.
He is also confident that, by 2030, there will be mushrooms grown in Australia without the use of peat.
Fresh from the AMGA conference in Adelaide, Dr Noble has a candid chat to MushroomLink’s Dr Jenny Ekman at the Marsh Lawson Mushroom Research Unit about the peat-free future of casing, emphasising that it is not a question of if, but when.
