compost problem.
My largest and fullest compost heap was doing beautifully, the other day I
took the vinyl cover off it and put some holes in it with a stake, its too full and too deep for me to empty and turn, it's made up of four 4'palletts. Anyway, when I took the cover off and put the holes in, steam (for want of a better word!) came out through all the holes. I was really pleased, thought I was obviously doing something right. However...today I took the vinyl off to put a layer of hay on top and found to my astonishment loads and loads of mushrooms(?) fungus(?) toadstools(?) no idea what they are!..They stand about 6"high and are grey with an open flat grey/black top on them. Where on earth did these come from? and how, if it were hot enough to create steam did they survive?...will they go or am I stuck with a large heap of unusable compost? Thanks again -- Shan (Ireland) http://ukdiscus.com/main.htm |
