I used to live near Cambridge and these guys delivered by the big
builders bag (cubic metre?):

http://www.mulch.co.uk/

they are Madingley Mulches and they say they deliver nationwide and
they seem to have mushroom compost and no I am not getting paid for
saying any of this.

I wish they delivered to Ireland.

I thought Ireland was the World Centre for Mushroom Growing!

it is! it is!
sadly, I have no idea what they do with their spent compost or how to
get any.
Madingley Mulches were very easy to deal with and within 1 day of
phoning them you would get this wonderful present of a huge bag of the
stuff, for very little expense and you just shovelled it liberally over
any bare soil and everything looked great for a while.
Here I have been using bark and it is not nearly as nice and it is
effin expensive.

I suppose a google search on "mushroom growers Ireland " or Eire
hadn't crossed your mind?

Bloody hell; that never occurred to me; what an extraordinary idea.
Google you say??
(skip the eire bit; that is only on stamps or coins).
Do you have a car with a tow bar and trailer I could borrow for when I have
to go collect it?

You might mention that to google (when you track it down).

That is neither here nor there; try Eire as a google term and see what you
find. It is not exactly very useful.
Google use what crops up in web sites. Eire is the word (one word
actually; nominative singular or something; I cannot remember) for Ireland
in Irish. Almost no Irish companies have web sites in Irish.

Sorry, tow bars and trailers are for softie southern wusses. We carry
all our tons of seaweed, manure, shearing waste, brewery spent hops,
beachcombing finds, skip treaure etc home inside the car. With the
backseat taken out and skilled packing it holds 26 sackfuls.


That is very useful from wher I am sitting in the Dublin suburbs; I will
recommend it to the family.

By contrast. when I used to use spent mushroom compost, I
telephoned the mushroom farm and the mushroom farm was thrilled to
deliver as much as I would take, in exchange for a modest amount of
cash. Hope that solves the mystery of what mushroom farms do with the
spent compost.


What made me reply with such incredulity Janet was the idea that I had never
heard of google. I have spent hours googling for anyone who would sell me
mushroom comost and deliver it to Dublin (and the local yellow pages and a
bloke I met in a pub and his brother). No one wanted to. Several places
said I was welcome to come and get it. No one would deliver it. I said in
my non-controversial chatty post that I wished I could get someone to
deliver the stuff to me like what happened me once in England. You made
patronising suggestions about googling and suggestions for what search words
to use.
Jayzes.

My apologies. I should have supplied a mixed bag of unwrapped, self
adhesive emoticons with full international instructions, for you to
apply wherever you need them most.

My own google search took seconds, not hours, and supplied a dozen
results showing what they do with spent mushroom compost in Ireland;
which made me think you could not have looked in google for an answer to
that question.(insert emoticon of your choice)

Well, there you go (insert emoticon) So, from having "no idea how to
get any" in your post above, from my post now you do know how at least
one way to get some. (Insert emoticon) If you don't own a
car/pickup/landrover perhaps you know someone who does? (Insert
emoticon).

I don't and all the googling in the world does not help.
All I did was comment on how I wished Madingley Mulches delivered to
Ireland as I could not get anyone to deliver mushroom compost to me.
Google is neother here nor there and Is merely an excuse for you to be
patronising.
I do not have a trailer. I do not even have a drivers license.
I do not know anyone with a trailer.
All I want is someone to deliver mushroom compost to my house in Dublin
just like I once did in England.
Can you find someone who will do that by googling?
I can see dozens and dozens of sites about mushroom growing.
