Mushrooms or toad stools
How do I rid myself of a garden of toad stools that have sprun up over a
tree removed three years ago. The stump was cut down but there is still wood remaining 6" to 12" under the lawn. I have tried putting crystal lime down but that has not worked. What chemicals can I use do get rid of these pesty, ugly mushrooms. |

Mushrooms or toad stools
Can we do better than poison the grass and the toadstools or run over em and
spread the spores to hell and back. By putting lime on them I thought I was changing the ph of the soil. Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction and instead of hand fulls of lime pellets I should fertilize them. I am a novice and I appreciate the responses, but they are not getting me where I want to go.

There's no chemical you can purchase, that can kill them. Most of the fungus is under the ground, feeding on the stump that wasn't removed. If you want them them gone, pick them and throw them away, or dig up the remaining root structure. It's quite that simple. -- Eggs -A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts. |
