mushie

i am pretty happy

about my recent batch of mushroom compost

so far it has yielded 2.5 kg of mushrooms

in a week

that means this batch of compost has paid for itself

and half of the next load already

i think i might save a bag under the pines

this weather is perfect for a bit of fungi growth !

the rest is destined for under my strawberries, blueberries

and rhubarbs to keep the weeds down a bit and add

some desperately needed organics to my soil

its Boeuf bourguignon for dinner tonite

and probably sauteed mushies with omelette's tomorrow . . . 

P.S. mushroom compost doesn't always have a lot of spores

so we have not always had such a bumper load of mushies,

its the luck of the season really.

if you are a bit cheeky at the garden centre

look in the bags before you load them in the trailer

Also beware of using any composts at this time of the year

as spore levels are high in the warm damp organic material

and aren't always good for your lungs.
