Everything I have seen about mushroom compost is that it is a pretty good source of organic matter but has little nutrient value because the mushrooms pretty much use up the nutrients. Five to ten percent composted manure with the rest mushroom compost could be a good way to approximate good compost.
so maybe I should just get the 10% manure compost, which has, I assume, 90% other organic matter ?
who knew s*** would be so confusing. Perhaps I should just get myself a case of Activia and go to town
