Love That Mushroom Compost!

There is a mushroom farm in the neighboring county and we have in the past bought some of their compost from various venders. It has been about three years since we did this. So it was time. On a recent  Saturday, we went to a landscaping company just a mile down the road and got a shovelful.

It is GOOD stuff, though fragrant.

Once home, we broadcasted it into bushes and butterfly gardens and bulb beds, using pitchforks, shovels, buckets and wheelbarrows.

We are creating new beds around the new screen porch and so we put it there too.

On Sunday, B tilled it in to these new beds to mix it with the builder’s sand.

We are on our way to some good growing.
