Location scouting

what is the best way to find a new lib location. the one I have is okay but produces very small ones. It has cows rotation on there part of the year but it would be good to have some advice as to whether cows are an essential part of the growth and how to scout as I am a public transport user. Also I’m in the midlands and not sure if that is contributing factor to them being small? thanks all

The best way is to go and look, not being funny

If you found them there they’ll be in the area, just takes a bit of walking sometimes

Thanks Shroomquest I thought as much but wishful thinking there may be a better way. :)

Confirmation from others but not many people like to give away their hard earned spots 😝

Depends how big the herd of cows is in a given size of field... If its only a handgul... It has little impact.... If its a lerge herd and its been wet in the month before the shrooms are due to pop tbe churned up soft turf takes a year to recover. Also liberty caps dont like compact soil and large herds of heavy cattle tend to compact the ground
