Im growing blueberries and strawberries in 55 gallon sub irrigated planters full of peat/topsoil.
Im mostly fertilizing with with
urine so far, but I plan to topdress with
compost.
I also intend to add red wrigglers.
King Stropharia is said to trap and devour nematodes that can plague strawberry plants.
Peatmoss is usually mentioned in relationship to
mushrooms as a "casing" ,a layer that helps retain moisture and promote fruiting.
It is said to be virtually nutrient free.
I would like to add King Stropharia spawn to my barrels.
Would my top dressing and be sufficient to
feed the shroons?
Should I add something else?
Corn gluten comes to mind.With known allopathic effects and a huge nitrogen
boost, it might be perfect.
Alfalfa pellets or cubes might work in a similar way.
Fruiting of the King Stropharia would be great, but keeping the mycilium alive and fed is the goal.
Any suggestions for other perennial acid loving food plants are welcome.
