Mushroom Compost

Application
C-Wise Mushroom can be incorporated into the topsoil to build structure and feed plant growth or top dressed as a weed suppressant, soil feeder and protective mulch. On large scale treatment areas, Mushroom can be broadcast through a conventional belt spreader and incorporated mechanically into the soil before planting. In row crop applications, Mushroom can be precision banded and incorporated direct into the planting row or banded as mulch either side of the planting line. For smaller treatment areas, Mushroom can be manually spread and incorporated into soil or applied as mulch around plants.

Commercial Crops
For vineyards and orchards, Mushroom can be applied every 2-3 years as a fine mulch to build soil fertility, suppress weeds and maintain soil moisture and temperature conditions for uniform growth. Mushroom will break down to provide a significant proportion of crop nutrition and has ongoing soil health benefits that naturally suppress pests and disease. Apply Mushroom in a 250mm wide band either side of the planting line to a depth of 25-50mm. For planting new perennial crops, blend 2-5 Litres of Mushroom with original soil and use as a planting mix in each hole or apply along the planting line at a rate of 15-30m3/ha and incorporate to a depth of 100mm before planting. In annual food crops, Mushroom can be incorporated into soil before planting or applied as a mulch to boost productivity and build soil health benefits. Discuss with C-Wise for programs on specific crops.

Professional Landscapers
Mushroom is an excellent all round soil improver and protective mulch for planting and feeding trees and shrubs as well as growing vegetables, exotic plants and flower beds. For new garden beds, turf and general landscaping, spread a 5-10mm thick layer of Mushroom across soil surface and incorporate to a depth of 50-100mm, then water thoroughly before planting. For individual plants, shrubs and trees, mix 1 part Mushroom with 10 parts original soil and use as a planting mix around root zone. As a potting mix ingredient, blend Mushroom at up to 25% of soil mix to significantly improve fertility and water holding capacity. For establishment and maintenance of exotic plants, flower beds and vegetable gardens, use Mushroom as mulch throughout garden beds at a depth of 25-50mm to conserve water, feed plants and suppress weeds.
