Families in Malta have been venting anger at the odours emanating from a local mushroom farm. It would seem that problems associated with mushroom growing are the same the world over.
Chadwick Mushrooms owner Saviour Gauci said he used the latest system that produces the least smells possible. Before he started using this system the smells were 100 times worse.
“It’s a farm and having no smells at all is impossible. We are making compost here,” he said, adding that when he built the farm there were no houses in the immediate surroundings.
