- 1). Purchase mushroom compost and add it to your compost pile or bin. Mushroom compost cannot take the place of compost created from multiple organic sources.
- 2). Dig down about 12 inches in the garden and set the soil to one side of the resulting hole. Loosen the bottom of the hole with a spade, then add about 2 inches of the compost mixture. Cover it with a layer of soil, then another layer of compost. Repeat until the soil is level again.
- 3). Apply a 2-inch layer of compost mixture periodically throughout the growing season to keep the soil rich.
- 4). Apply 1 inch of mushroom compost directly to the soil if desired, but follow up with a 1-inch layer of ordinary compost on top.
