Mushroom Compost

Organic, Nutrient-Dense Compost Ideal for Soil Conditioning

Give your soil a powerful boost with Mushroom Compost—an organic, high-organic-matter soil amendment made from the spent growing medium used in mushroom cultivation. Rich in humates and essential nutrients, this compost improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and promotes healthier, more productive plants.

Key Benefits

• Improves Soil Structure
  Loosens clay soils and boosts moisture-holding capacity in sandy soils by increasing organic content and porosity.
• Nutrient-Rich & Microbe-Boosting
  Delivers a balanced blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and humic acids—fueling plant growth and microbial activity.
• Moisture Retention
  Naturally holds water longer, reducing watering needs and supporting consistent plant hydration during dry spells.
• Reduces Fertilizer Dependence
  Humates help unlock nutrients tied up in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers over time.
• Essential Micronutrients
  Includes beneficial trace elements like iron and copper, supporting chlorophyll production and overall plant resilience.

Why Choose Mushroom Compost?

• Great for Soil Conditioning
  Best used to amend tired, nutrient-depleted soils in gardens, flower beds, and lawns. Enhances soil health for crops like tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, and flowering ornamentals.
• Mulching Made Simple
  Acts as a weed-suppressing mulch when applied as a top layer in planting beds or around shrubs and trees.
• Pasteurized & Safe
  Commercial-grade compost is pasteurized at high temperatures (up to 160°F), eliminating weeds, insects, and pathogens. Aged and leached to reduce ammonia and salt content.
• Avoid for Acid-Loving Plants
  Due to its slightly alkaline pH (6.5–8.0), it’s not recommended for plants like blueberries, azaleas, or potatoes that prefer acidic soil.

Usage Recommendations

• Soil Blending
  Mix 1–2 inches into the top 6–8 inches of soil for vegetable gardens and flower beds. For shrubs and trees, incorporate 2–3 inches when preparing planting areas.
• Topdressing
  Spread a 0.5–1 inch layer around existing plants or lawns to rejuvenate soil and deliver a nutrient boost.
• Container Mixes
  Blend up to 25% with potting soil for container gardens or raised beds.
• Avoid Direct Seeding
  Don’t plant seeds directly into pure mushroom compost—it’s best used mixed with soil to avoid potential nutrient burn.

Perfect For:

• Vegetable Gardens – Especially tomatoes, squash, peppers, and leafy greens
• Flower Beds & Ornamentals – Roses, zinnias, marigolds, peonies
• Lawns – For topdressing and root zone enrichment
• New Landscapes – To improve planting soil in fresh builds
• Erosion Control – As mulch on sloped areas
• Compost Tea – Can be steeped for use as a liquid fertilizer
