Hi all,
As my first bed is nearly finally dug - I'm thinking of acquiring some mushroom compost to dig in to improve the soil. I have a few questions:
1. Am I right in thinking mushroom compost includes lime? My soil is acidic - will it contain enough for me to not need to add lime separately / will I do harm if I add lime separately?
2. Can it be used to earth up potatoes?
3. Can it be used to mulch asparagus and raspberries?
4. Are there any veg I should avoid planting once I've dug it in?
5. Will it actually add nutrients or just improve the texture?
6. How long after digging it in can I start to sow / plant in it?
Thanks in advance - every time I think I know what I'm doing...
