SPENT MUSHROOM MANURE 
Spent Mushroom Manure is real stable manure to which 
has been added 20% of rich top soil and then used to grow one 
crop of Mushrooms in the huge limestone caverns at West Win- 
field in Butler County. The heat of fresh manure is gone, but 
the organic content and fertility of good barnyard manure is 
retained. 
The high organic content, almost five times that of top- 
soil, is quite valuable in loosening heavy soils and increasing 
the moisture retention value. It is a long time source of mineral 
elements which are released gradually through decomposition 
into the soil. 
New studies prove that organic plant foods such as Mush- 
room Manure are absolutely vital in growing crops for human 
consumption. They claim that vegetables grown without organic 
elements are almost valueless in supplying the needs of our 
body. 
A two-inch layer of Spent Mushroom Manure mixed with 
clay excavation soil will produce a good lasting turf. This makes 
a much lower cost lawn than the hauling in of some low grade 
so-called top soil. This has been proven over and over again. 
It will produce a good lasting turf almost weedless. 
For use on a vegetable, or flower garden we recommend 
from two to four inches spaded into the soil. A generous ap- 
plication will supply your garden with ample plant food for 
a long time. It loosens the soil, retains moisture and promotes 
growth. For mulching, or placing around any established plants, 
we recommend from one to two inches. For roses, it should be 
placed down in the bed on planting and then use some to 
mulch them every fall for winter protection. As a top-dressing 
for lawn either in the fall or winter, we recommend from 44 
to % inch. It is also used by many gardeners to cover newly 
seeded lawns to keep them from drying out after seeding. 
Spent Mushroom Manure lacks the filth, odor and disease 
spread in ordinary stable manure for it is sterilized before 
entering the Mushroom growing plant. This process also kills 
nearly all weed seeds found in ordinary barnyard manures.
