Beds & Borders Compost FAQs
Is mushroom compost better than regular compost for trees and shrubs?
Spent mushroom compost contains a high level of organic matter, making it particularly beneficial for soil improvement and water retention.
Can you use too much compost?
The regular or excessive use of tree and shrub compost can result in a buildup of chalk particles, which increases the alkalinity of the garden soil. This heightened alkalinity can negatively affect plant growth, as not all new plants are suited to alkaline soils.
Does compost suppress weeds in newly rotavated soil?
As a mulch or soil amendment, this compost forms a barrier that suppresses weeds by blocking sunlight and preventing seed germination. Additionally, its nutrient-rich composition fosters plant growth that can outcompete weeds, making it an effective tool for weed control in newly rotavated areas.
Can I use compost instead of soil?
While our compost is a fantastic conditioner that greatly improves plant growth, it should not be used as a full substitute for soil.
Mixing this compost with our premium topsoil creates the perfect growing environment, offering plants the necessary nutrients, moisture, and improved soil structure for optimal health.
What can I use mushroom compost for?
This type of compost is great for improving soil structure and water retention, as well general mulching.
