    Have you seen insects or mushrooms in your garden, and wondered if it's time to panic and get out the sprays? Well, in some instances, those bugs (and fungi) we see may be beneficial to the health of our garden ecosystems. Not all garden visitors are bad--in moderation.
    We'll talk about when it's time to step in and intervene, if needed, and we'll discuss what happens when we wait and let nature take its course.

    I have seen a trend where people add mushroom spawn into their mulch pathways. I really like that idea, but is there any potential drawback?

      I'm not sure if this would cause any issues, but my feeling is that it would only encourage soil microbiology, not do any harm.

      With all of the continued moisture we've been getting, that's not surprising. I'm sure your soil will be just fine!
