Or you can buy your compost! It can be purchased from composting facilities.


That stuff is not “real” compost. True, most of it is manure, or municipal waste that has been piled and turned & fluffed until it is ‘finished’, but never heating up & ‘cooking’ as a “Rodale” compost pile does. It is then run through a rotating drum dryer to sterilize it.

That is not to say it isn’t a decent material to use; I just don’t like it being called “compost”.

You’re not getting a bioactive “living” compost, from a carefully chosen, balanced, mix of ingredients like you do from a cooled down natural pile.

Oh wow! Thanks for the wonderful clarification of the box store products. Words mean things, don’t they?
