So iv put my mushroom compost on in ealy autumn then planted my onion and garlic sets a few weeks later i wasnt aware that there was so much lime in this compost what other veg apart from ppotatoes should i avoid and will beetroot be ok ?
The guy on the neighbouring allotment said there could be some clubfoot on my plot and suggested I limed the ground where brassica's are to be planted. He's had the neighbourig plot for over 30 years so what he said probably has some legs. He plants his brassica's in holes filled with soot and lime mixed, has anyone tried this and does it work.
If mushroom compost has lime in it would this be just as good?

Would mushroom compost be ok with brassica's.

Anybody still interested in using mushroom compost?
Have you got any going spare?
I found it good as a top dressing around onions on clayey soil.
We have a very rich mushroom Compost available. How much do you need?
