Default Re: Mushroom Compost

I have gotten 4 very large truckloads from a mushroom farm in Zellwood and have been very happy with it! Grew all my veggies in it this year. The only problem I found is that it did not hold any water what so ever so it dries out very fast. That and it being such a dry year this year and so frickin hot.....

They just dumped huge pile of it with a giant front loader into the back of my father in laws F350 dually. It was a few feet above the roofs and just running over the sides. lol I was so afraid I was going to get pulled over... haha

Oh ya and the piles were so hot I had to let it sit for a while to burn off a lot of the nitrogen...and it took a whole day almost to unload the truck each time. Especially the day I picked up a load all by myself.
