I have been searching locally for spent mushroom compost, but it seemed quite expensive £15 for ten bags.
Would I be better of buying 10 B&Q grow bags approx £1.50 a bag.
Same price, but probably more in the grow bags, but which would be better as a soil improver?

Never used it myself but if its as good as you say it is then I would of thought whoever grows the mushrooms uses the spent compost in their own garden lottie.
Don't know which is the best but i got a trailer load of say about 40 bags (it's a very big trailer) for £5.00 in November, we have 3 sheds round here Lancaster where you can get it from, they even loaded the trailer for me via a conveyor as they were emptying the sheds
They sell for£5 per bag here on the Wirral but when I got some last year I got at least 2 kilo of mushrooms growing out of each bag.
What nutrients do you get from them??
If these sets dont work then whats the best way to grow mushrooms or do people just buy 'em? ???
How do I find a Used Mushroom Compost supplier. I've checked out the Internet, but can't find anything.
I live in South Birmingham/ Solihull.
Slug Killer - go to www.yell.com and search for mushroom growers
The chap who supplied mine called himself a topsoil purveyor. Perhaps you might have success looking in that direction.
