Finish the crop properly

Look closely

The next crop begins with this crop’s clean-up

Before the final harvest, decide who removes the crop, which route they use, where used material waits and how equipment is released for the next fill. Do not let the new crop’s arrival date become the only reason to declare the room ready.

Separate removal, cleaning, any method-specific sanitation, drying, maintenance and inspection into recorded tasks. A room can look empty while drains, tools, rack joints or damaged surfaces still need attention. Qualified advice is required for chemical use and heated or pressurised sanitation systems.

Spent mushroom material is not automatically suitable for every reuse. Its properties and prior inputs matter. Avoid uncontrolled dumping, runoff and pest harbourage; verify locally acceptable storage, transport and reuse or disposal arrangements.
