Biogold fertilizer pellets with mold was created by arussman

Hi,

I've been using biogold pellets as my fertilizer. I recently noticed that some of them have white, fuzzy/fluffy mold on them. These pellets have been in place 3 weeks and 1 day. Is this normal? Does this mean I'm either over-watering, leaving the pellets in-place too long, the plants aren't getting enough air circulation, or something else?

Thanks for your help,
Adam

the pellets need to decay for the nutrients to be released. So mold is what you are after.

Perfectly normal, it's the decomposition process.
