Many professionals and gardeners have given many testimonials about the mushroom compost and its benefits. It is very similar to peat moss as it enhances the soil’s ability to hold essential nutrients. Mushroom compost has the capability to act as a temperature buffer for the root systems. Increases water uptake efficiency and retains moisture. Since it contains a high pH value (7.5), the need for treating the soil using lime is avoided.

Mushroom compost is a very fertile and high organic medium. Weed seed and disease pathogens are neutralized as the compost is heat pasteurized. It decreases the nutrient runoff that the need for fertilizing is reduced greatly and hence it is beneficial to the environment.
