My family and I are thinking of those who have lost loved ones and everything. I wish I could send rain to put the fires out and give the firies a well deserved rest.
We haven’t had any fires near us but it is so dry we worry everytime we smell smoke, if there is a fire we plan to leave as we have only one way out.
Take care everyone. -

It has been so hot here that lots of the trees have dropped their leaves even though I’ve been watering from the dam but that is now too low to pump from.

calliecat I posted on the permie and share pages about getting the spent mushroom compost, not sure if Kylie is coming over this way again but I have 3 spare bags @ $5 a bag.

I bought a mushroom kit and got a handful of mushrooms I’m getting way more from the spent mushroom compost.

Judi B replied to the topic What did you do today? in the forum General chat and catching up 2 years, 5 months ago
I’m using it in the vegie garden the soil here is crap and mushroom compost was cheap and the garden needs all the organic matter it can get and the mushrooms were a bonus. pH of mushroom compost is slightly acid to neutral I think.

I had some spent mushroom compost delivered on 8th September and have been picking mushies since but today was a good haul 1kg of yummy mushies so tonight we had steak with mushroom gravy
