depends where you are, prepare the soil with a campfire. keep damp and patienceI might add, it comes with good instructions.

I cannot answer this. I have tried getting morels to grow for years now with no success. I have tried soil that was almost pure decomposed plant matter, soil that was ash, charcoal and partially burned limbs, soil that was tilled up gravel driveway. I have tried two or three kits from the same source and three different sources. NOTHING! I don't have an answer for you.

according with the directions wood mulch sand ash gypsum(drywall crushed up) and peat moss is the combination that I used but I won't know if my garden til this spring because you want to start your mushroom farm way before winter for the spores to multiply . According to what I have seen online you want the soil in poor condition for what would normally be good for other vegetation. I have not had any luck with my garden but good luck to ya

Usually mulch type and like previous emailer firepit ashes are good and to keep moist...... However I have purchased 3 of these and none of them have produced ANY mushrooms. So I do not know if it was just the supplier or what but the gifts are gave were useless gifts. Had High hopes but turned out to be a NOTHING.

I can only suggest looking it up on the internet as this was a gift I purchased for a friend who lives out of my state.

Honestly depends on the weather but i planted vertically in late spring and had new growth in a few weeks. Hen and chick types seem to reproduce faster.

I'm in zone 9--planted in July which was late, but they grew and produced. Probably early spring when planting other things would be good.

I do not know the best time. I have scatter seeded it in spring fall and summer. It will grow and survive if it can get roots down before it gets too dry. Its pretty hardy.

Depends in where you live, mid April is probably the best time. But I kept mine in a 10" pot on the patio for six months before planting it in the ground. Located in So. Calif.

I live in Mid Tn. We have hot summers, mild to cool winters. I started a patch of comfrey this spring. Planted in rich soil, didn't water and it grew like crazy. We had fairly wet spring and summer. It grew like crazy could have harvested 100,000 seeds. Instructions said don't pick first year. I gave some of the leaves to my goats, reason for planting, they love it. It was still blooming up till frost hit it. Will cut it 4-5 times next year & increase planting. Hope this helps.Old Goat

We planted ours up in Northern Arizona during the summer. Depending where you are at in Texas will determine how well it will grow. I think if you are in central Texas you might have a lot of success. Our clover came up really well once the summer rain started. We will have snow in the winter, but it comes back quickly each summer and flourishes. This seed was excellent and I will be ordering it again next spring.

sandy soil is preferred......one inch rain a week is needed(water) but do not over water or trunk will rot..plant near windows as they have strong fragrance and u will enjoy on breezy days....for cloning use rockwool plugs(google or Amazon "rockwool")....lol.............."The Toad".............Out....

It depends on what part of the contry you are in. I plant mine in spring after danger of frost.

I actually used potting soil because allegedly it has more nutrients but this year I'll go with bagged garden soil since it's cheaper. The good thing about planting in these pots is that there's less weeding to be done. A definite plus in my book!

brussel sprouts grow best in a cooler not too hot area. plant in a partial shade if temp. tends to gointo 80's after first frost they get sweeter! so always let them stay in frost. I leave mine in all winter,(zone 5) and pick as we eat. But watch the deer they love them too!

I checked and dichondra grows in zones 8-11. If Lubbock is zone 7 it may be too cold for dichondra. I'm in Fredericksburg which is zone 8 and my neighbor planted seed and it came up beautifully. Unfortunately, she planted it in a pretty shady spot so it didn't thrive. You might try a small spot and see how it does in the winter before investing a lot of time and effort in planting a larger area.

Long Island is in Zone 7B which allows you to plant the Persimmon tee in the ground. We do recommend you provide cold protection if the temps fall below 15 degrees. ( Build mulch around the base of the tree and a cold cover until the tree gets well established )

We planted in mid April in zone 5. Some came, but had unusually hard rains and a cool spring so I am unable to give you a good answer. I would rebuy.

The Morel Habitat needs a definite "spring" - several week transition from winter to summer in order for the Morels to be able to fruit - produce mushrooms.
