If you were using organic mushroom compost you would get a healthy mass of mycelia. And that it just what you want for a healthy soil and no staggy. Other mushroom composts are sterilised and acidiy the soil. I used treated mushroom compost for years in England and it was very quickly wet and stodgy stuff. Fine for mulching borders and kitchen gardens. Mark > Message du 07/12/13 22:25 > De : "Aad van Beek" . So in the past I would dig a trench. Fill it with leaves. Put a thick layer of mushroom compost on it and covered it with a layer of soil. Keep it moist and leave it for a year. Then it will be nicely crumbled and easy to use. Never thought of use it for my plants dough, but did use it my vegetable garden." _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
