A device for delivering at least a layer of compost and casing soil to a shelving for growing mushrooms, comprising:
- a first conveyor:
- a first hopper, arranged on the first conveyor, with a receiving opening for receiving compost and a dispensing opening for delivering a compost layer on the first conveyor;
- a second hopper, arranged on the first conveyor downstream with respect to the first hopper, with a receiving opening for receiving casing soil and a dispensing opening for delivering the casing soil on a top of the compost layer;
- at least one separator arranged on the first conveyor and configured to separate the compost layer with the casing soil on the top of the compost layer in a direction perpendicular to the downstream direction into at least two separate parallel fractions, both of which are on the first conveyor, of the compost layer with the casing soil on the top of the compost layer;
- and
- a delivery end configured to deliver separately but simultaneously the at least two separate parallel fractions of the compost layer with the casing soil on the top of the compost layer to the shelving while maintaining a separation of the at least two separate parallel fractions of the compost layer on the shelving.
