Spent mushroom substrate is really good in compost (particularly vermicompost). I worked on a small scale gourmet mushroom farm earlier this year, it's easy enough to sell the spent medium to gardening businesses when you're done growing mushrooms.
- ariehkovler 8y agoI think all coffee grounds make decent fertiliser too, as well as decent compost, even without mushroom.
- stevehawk 8y agocoffee grounds alter the pH of whatever you use them in so you can't just blindly use it as fertilizer. Just an FYI before people start throwing their coffee grounds everywhere. It's worth researching whatever your growing to see what pH it prefers and then treat accordingly.
- redisman 8y agoThey also just get moldy in "sterile-ish" environments like pots since there's nothing there to break them down. Works ok in the yard though.
