The best laid plans of mice and . . . weeds? [grin]
Today's plan was to finish prepping the raised beds and transplant the seedlings. While finishing my morning coffee, it rained . . . again . . . big time . . .
So, instead I am on the Gardening thread seeking advice. I had purchased a bunch of 1-1/2 cubic foot bags of mushroom compost to add to the raised beds. The plan was one bag per 4' X 4' bed. Now the question I am pondering over my second mug of coffee.
Would it be better to till the compost into the top 6" of the beds, or should I spread it as a top dressing after planting everything???
Inquiring minds want to know . . .
Don't know. How deep are your beds? What kind of soil do they contain? What was your goal with purchasing the mushroom compost?
I would till in the mushroom compost especially if it is fresh as it will be full of active biological ingredients. We got a pickup load right from a shed many years ago and had mushrooms coming up for 2 years as it wasn’t composted.
