Default Mushroom soil problems?

At best you would till a maximum of 6 inches of this mushroom compost
into the soil a few weeks before planting.
Less would be smarter.
It is a soil AMMENDMENT not a growing medium. In addition to being a
bit too rich in nitrogen it goes through some wide swings in pH.
