used mash and a vegetable garden

[AdScot17]

Does anyone know if the used mash from making beer would help in a vegetable garden? And what values it would give to the soil

I am not positive but I would think it would need to be composted first.

if you don't compost, it gets rank and buggy.

Yes, we compost ours. It would be a stinky wad of "stuff" until it's composted. It doesn't take long, though, if you stir your compost pile and add some other organic material.

If you spread it thin enough, it'll dry out before it stinks. But it's a rodent magnet, so my vote is composting.

Composting FTW!

I hope I can get caught up around the house to get back on that composting barrel project I started.. oh a few YEARS ago...

Mix it with some grass clipping and compost it. Spent grain is very high in protein (AKA nitrogen).

I usually till some into the ground in the fall after pulling the garden and again in the spring prior to planting.
