wouldn't mushroom compost involve soil?Never done an organic grow, I can't grow in soil, so it will be a soilless mix.
go with perlite, try doing a hemp bucket, its PH neutral you can't go wrong!Growers bible says they use it for soil and soilless, but your right soilless is inert so if you start amending it,I guess technecly its soil, but I'll never tell.
I was thinking coco, perlite, Mushroom compost, bat guano, ??
there is a little "quote" button in the lower right corner.How do you get the box and screen name around the copy and pasted text ??

Mushroom Compost - it is the left over soil (compost) from a commerical mushroom grow. By law, the stuff has to lay fallow (unused) for two years, before it can be sold. It tends to be pretty decent stuff. Because so much fungi action has occurred in it.
.
I have mixed it with equal parts of worm castings, pertilite and some of my own compost & gotten good results. The stuff I bought was at a grocery store - greenhouse. I only paid $ 5 for a 40 pound bag. So, it was cheaper than most stuff you get at Wally World. It was very dark, & earthy smelling - always good signs. Plus since it has to sit so long, no weeds popped up, and there were no bugs (pests - gnats, flies or grub worms).
Found this.
Then when you click on the red box you'll immediately be redirected to that post in that thread, that's what.This is copied from another thread.
The right nursery will have it, some nursery's carry coco bricks, bails, and mat, haven't looked for MC yet.
I thought if you used the quote box it was only for replying to that thread, what if you swipe it(text) from another thread ??
Mushroom Compost is VERY,VERY decent stuff, depending on the MR Grower. Rice, wheat, etc. hulls & poultry manure is the prime contends. I drove to a Mushroom Farm, paid $20. for a heaping truck-load of compost. It was piled high, & packed into the truck, couldn't see out my back glass. Took half a day to drag the shit outta the truck. 80% of my soil used is MS Compost, & 99% of the watering/nutes is the same. Tomatoes can be planted directly into it. Caution. Worms don't like poultry manure, it will kill them, too much ammonia nitrate. My shit seems to be doing well. Find your nearest Rabbit raiser, they will be glad for you to get the shit out, it's WONDERFUL ferts, & worms love it. Dolly's coming, gotta fly, well, not fly, chained the house down to a tree.
