It wasn't hot when I bought it. It had already cooled down.

I used it - as is - to fill all my containers last year.
Every single thing I planted in it grew wonderfully. This
was about ten different vegetables: I had marvelous results
with every one.

I had the kind of picture-perfect plants you see in
seed-catalog photos, in fact, except for the collards which
were eaten by cabbage worms. I'll cover the brassicas up
with floating row cover or nylon netting this year.

I'm sold on container gardening in general, and on the
spent-mushroom soil in particular.
