The message
from "Aileen Howard" contains these words:
Are you really sure you want mushroom compost under the grass? I am
*really* plagued by toadstools now - picked around 100 this morning.
No, I
won't leave them because they are around 4 inches high and look a real
mess,
as they stick up indiscriminately all over the place, like soldiers.
I shall water the grass assiduously with infusion of
horse-sh^^something-or-other in the hope of having my lawn carpeted with
mushrooms.
I rang the turf suppliers yesterday and the lady assured me that I could
get
rid of them with diluted Epsom Salts. Does anyone have any experience
of
using this, or am I just being fobbed off?
Haven't heard of that, but copper sulphate might do the job. Or if you
can't get it, ask for Bordeaux mixture in your local hardware/gardening
shop/centre.
