I've always fancied having a go at growing my own and at just a pound, these kits are affordable and it won't matter if it's not successful.
The kit comes with spawned mushroom compost, instructions and growing medium. It all looks simple enough, only time will tell whether it really is easy to grow mushrooms or not. I'll let you know.
Brilliant! Keep us posted. xx
ReplyDeleteI will do. It will be fun to see if anything grows.
DeleteI'll be interested to hear how you get on!!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know. I do hope something grows.
DeleteThat does look fun, good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt's worth having a go for a pound.
DeleteGood luck, it's well worth a go at that price. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteIt is. It's amazing what you can pick up in pound shops.
DeleteThe key to success is having the right place to grow them. Most houses are too hot. I tried one of those kits once, and it was "OK". It did produce some mushrooms, but to be honest it wasn't an economical venture since the white mushrooms are very cheap to buy - but at only £1 I might think differently! (as long as you don't put too high a price on your own time).
ReplyDeleteIt's just a bit of fun. I don't think I'll be growing mushrooms for profit.
DeleteWe once grew them in a bag in the garage. One thing that stick in my mind was the need to keep picking or you ended up with one huge mushroom.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch out for that, thanks for the tip.
DeleteA great way to start out in mushroom growing. Once you've perfected the ordinary ones you can branch out into the fancy ones. It would be lovely to be able to grow some different varieties. I assume once you have them if you leave some unpicked they will produce more. I'll be interested to know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI don't have very high hopes as I don't have the first idea about growing mushrooms, but it's worth a try for a pound. I'll follow the instructions and see how I go.
DeleteIt definitely has to be worth a go for a pound!! I hope that they do well for you Jo and I will be interested to hear more. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a novelty if nothing else. I'll let you know how I get on.
DeleteThat kit will be fun to have a go at growing mushrooms. Hubs was looking at a kit in the garden nursery centre and I made a mental note to get one so that one of the grandchildren could give it to him for Christmas. I might go to the pound shop and get a box. Thanks for the mention.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be worth a go for a pound, even if nothing comes of it. I'm sure the ones in the garden centre will have cost a lot more.
DeleteHow interesting. I look forward to seeing how you get on. :)
ReplyDeleteI've faniced having a go at one of these kits for a while so I was pleased to see them in the pound shop. I don't mind giving it a go when the outlay isn't much.
DeleteOoh that does sound like fun!
ReplyDeleteIt will be if they grow.
DeleteMy father bought kits and they did work very well...hope you are successful. It is fun to try these things. Look forward to seeing the results.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that kits worked well for your father. As you say, it's fun to try these things, even if they don't work out how you hope.
DeleteI would love to see how you get on with these. I like the idea of growing mushrooms but normally the expense puts me off, but for £1 I might be tempted to give it a go xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's worth a gamble for such a small layout. I'll let you know how I get on.
DeleteOh I've always fancied having a go with one of those kits Jo and you can't go wrong at that price! Will be interested to find out how you get on.
ReplyDeleteThey're definitely worth trying at that price. I'm hoping they grow.
DeleteThat's a great price isn't it? I was gifted to mushroom growing kits last year, they grew really well but didn't grow a second or third time, they were delicious and such fun to watch growing so you will enjoy the process. Good luck with it.xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that you've had success with these kits in the past, I hope mine grow for me.
