I use a few different composts, but I really like Horn Of Plenty on Etsy. It doesn’t contain any manure & there isn’t a lab report. Those things may be a nonstarter for some, but it’s truly some beautiful & clean stuff.

I am gotten to where I do not add unknowns. I just don't do it.
I started actively making compost from the early 90s. Somethings back then were easier and some were quite more difficult compared today. There were quite a few inputs that you really did not have to worry about, but you do today. I would be extremely cautious of dairy manure today. Naturally, I always had known the dairy operator and knew how he ran his operation. The likelihood of me finding the same kind of operation I utilized back then, is pretty slim. Unless they are a specialized dairy. And if I was them I would be marketing my manure!
I've had analysis run on large Input items that I was either going to utilize or that I had purchased. and the purchase was always stipulated that it would be based on analysis as the final closure.
A fine example was that was a quite sizable purchase of cotton seed meal. This was from semi-organic*** farms in the Panhandle that did not utilize a spray to kill the cotton in order to let the bowls open up when it died. Natural early frost did the same job. It came back extremely clean ! I've looked, they don't even offer the same product anymore.

And I have to be pretty cautious on my inputs since I reuse my media. Along with cannabis being a concentrator, I'm just not gonna take the chance without the documentation.
And that's pretty much why I'm a BAS fan. Jeremy is Loyal to the soil and just a plain fanatic About clean analysis and sustainability sourcing. That's exactly how I would do it if I were in his shoes.


***Semi-organic................ They may have used organic fertilizers or salt fertilizers, but no inorganic pesticides or any arsenic sprays to kill the plant in order to harvest.

We make literally tons of compost over 200 acres. We also have a lab where we produce mushroom & other fungus inoculum.
Having said that, we concentrate on scale & don’t worry about fungus gnats & stuff like that.
I can guarantee you the product I suggested is as clean & I’d bet cleaner & better quality than anything you’ve ever made or purchased.

Well, that's pretty bold! You sure are assuming a whole lot!

Just how would you know the quality and the cleanliness of my compost I have produced at my farm?

Because it’s not rocket science & can realistically only be so *good.
Now balance can be an issue & that’s why I brought up the report deal. This is why we produce our own microbes for our client’s groves. We also don’t 100% finish our piles, so it ain’t coming inside .

But hey, props to ya dude, maybe you are the greatest composter.

Hi Bill! Sorry I haven't been around for a couple of weeks.
Come back to find your giant seed stash, hand rubbed charas, and volunteer Asian Hazes everywhere.
You need to find a free acre to sow them and look for the Magical Unicorn Asian Haze pheno!

I'm probably not the greatest

Although my cows may disagree.

They got to graze off the pasture where I made my rows of compost. I turned my rows of compost with my tractor and front end loader. And basically walked them across the pasture.
I made very hot compost. I turned it quite often. That is pretty wasteful but making other compost wasn't the only reason in doing it this method. That was also increasing the fertility of the pasture. Both were about of equal importance in my plan.

The soil was crap there when I bought the farm. It was Sandy Loam and more toward the Sandy side.It devoured carbon! Composting was only a part of the program. From simple L Bond Rye and hairy vetch Winter cover crop, Planting of feed beets and turnips, To rotating paddocks. It got the whole gamut!

I drove by there a few months ago when I was delivering some medicine to an old neighbor. The front pasture By the highway still looks I out of place with its darker green color than the surrounding pasture land. In my old garden spot of three acres, the coastal Bermuda was extremely tall dark and very thick.
The whole place was still pretty much organic from abstentia. Basically nothing has been done. The guy thought he was going to flip the place to the school district. And didn't work out for him.

It was nice to see that things that I did to a place can still be seen. kind of a little sad too. A lot of work a lot of hard work! I grew a lot of good food too!

Now that would be something, huh?

Hope everything's back on track for you now!

Just cut down some of my Nevil Haze x Mullumbimby Madness 'Grail project' colas, and the biggest cola of my Super Silver Sour Thai Neville.
Still a lot left on the plants, and they'll come down in a week or two I guess.
Weather has been terrible, as has my health.
But getting things back on track now, thanks!
