I also hope to be able to buy a large quantity of

Kewl! Where could one find that? Am I assuming correctly that it
comes from mushroom growers?



Here is PA you can't go 5 miles without somebody selling it. What it is,
the way I take it is composted horse manure, and yes it comes from
mushroom growers. I have a local person that sells it for $7 for I am
guessing a 5yd bucket (2 scoops fill a pickup truck)
Its been raining here a lot lately and we get some mushrooms coming up
where we mulched with it. I don't trust to eat them though, since I
can't identify them.
