Information About

Spent Mushroom Compost




Mushroom compost may also contain Pesticide residues, particularly Organochloride s used against the Fungus Gnat . Chemicals may also have been used to treat the straw, and also to sterilise the compost. Therefore, the Organic Gardener must be careful regarding the sourcing of mushroom compost; if in doubt, samples can be analysed for contamination – in the UK the Department For Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is able to advise regarding this issue.
