Default Veggie soil question

Where are you close to ?
I am about 40 minutes north of Harrisburg.
I don't know of any mushroom farms around me either. I just think some
of these farmers that have a front loader just get a tractor trailer
load to make some money. Although the closest person is also the
cheapest, most other places charge $15 a scoop.

it is .net instead of .com for my email

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.




We're way up north in PA, pretty far from any mushroom
farms. So it's scarce up here, and costs a good deal more
than that.

I do have one place to buy it, at least I have so far. I
have my fingers and toes crossed that he'll have it again
this year. It really is wonderful stuff.

I won't eat the mushrooms either.
