I have been asked by many people how to make mushroom compost. The reason they want to know is because they have heard that mushroom compost is the best way to grow mushrooms. This is true, but there are some things you need to consider before starting to make your own mushroom compost.
The first thing you need to do is decide what type of compost you will be making. There are two types of compost, wet and dry. The wet type is more watery and can be used in growing mushrooms, but it does not hold much nutrition. The dry type holds more nutrients, but is harder to make. If you are just getting started with making compost, I would recommend starting out with the dry type.
When you are making your compost, you will need to have a lot of materials. You will need to have about three times as much as the amount of material you are composting. For example, if you are composting 2 pounds of kitchen scraps, you will need to have 6 pounds of other materials. This includes food scraps, manure, sawdust, leaves, etc.
When you have all of your ingredients, you need to mix them together in your compost pile. Make sure that you keep the pile moist, but not soggy. After you have mixed everything together, you should let it sit for at least a week. This will allow the materials to break down and start to become compost. After the compost has sat for a week, you can add it back to your garden.
It is important to remember that the compost needs to be kept in an airtight container. If you do not, the compost will start to smell bad. If you put it in the refrigerator, you can also keep it from smelling. It will still be good for a long time. You will need to keep adding new compost to the old compost every few months.
