Mushroom Compost FAQs

Is mushroom compost better than regular compost?

Spent mushroom compost is high in organic matter content which makes it a useful material for soil improvement and mulching – it can be better than regular compost for these.

What can I use mushroom compost for?

This type of compost is great for improving soil structure and water retention, as well general mulching.

Can you use too much mushroom compost?

Regular or heavy use of mushroom compost usually leads to a build-up of chalk particles in the garden soil and to increased soil alkalinity, which can negatively affect plants.

Excellent product at a sensible price from a local supplier. Staff are friendly and willing to help: I asked if just one bag of topsoil could be delivered quickly and it arrived next day! Great service.

Smooth execution of the transaction and delivery. Very helpful phone call and conversation. Ordered three bags of Border Blend topsoil. Paid by Paypal. They delivered, on the specified date, carefully, exactly where I wanted the bags placed. All in all, a very pleasing purchase. The topsoil was excellent and had been very carefully prepared. No lumps. Would definitely recommend and I will use again. Everyone I spoke to was nice and helpful.

Ordered topsoil on Tuesday came by Friday at the exact time quoted. Was WAY cheaper than anywhere else (by about £15 per bag) and was dropped off via a crane on back of the lorry, not by pallet which most of the other places use. Soil was fine and dry. Brilliant !
