Insert Mushroom Plugs

good. So, I got my holes drilled in my log. And then I'm going to put my plugs in. I'm going to use this right here to melt my wax. Dab it over my holes. It said it's supposed to be set one/4 inch Couple of recommendations. I've got a rubber hammer here that I'm knocking these uh wooden dowels in. They're uh it's, you know, I'm inoculating, fancy word for knocking in the wooden dowels, inoculating the wood with our uh mushrooms. Uh had I had to do it again, I would use a paddle bit, not a standard bit in my drill. And uh we'll see how the wax goes on here in a minute. But I don't know how I'm supposed to knock them a/4 inch deep when the wood's round and the mallet's flat. So I guess I'll just seal them off good with wax and we'll see how they do. It takes about a year for these things to uh get growing. So I'm going to get back to it. I wanted to do a little closeup on what these dowels look like. So here's what it looks like. I dropped that in the dirt. Um, we're going to give you a little closeup of uh putting it in the log here. hole. So, we get our dowel set and we just tap it in or we bend it over and break it. Knocking them in.
