Product Description

Our Premium Mushroom Compost is a professionally blended organic growing medium produced from composted wheat or rye straw, peat moss, used horse bedding straw, chicken manure, and gypsum. Each batch is mechanically screened through a fine mesh to remove coarse particles and create a uniform, easy-to-work soil amendment.

This screening process delivers a consistent texture that integrates smoothly into potting mixes, garden soil, and turf systems — ensuring predictable performance in professional horticulture and intensive cultivation environments.
