I utilized this compost at the Agrowtopia Farm on Xavier University of Louisiana’s student organic farm. Each batch was rich, full of earthworms, and had a beautiful chocolate cake crumb consistency. Lots of eggshells in there also so no issues with blossom end rot! We added several inches to each raised bed and yields improved quickly. The soil held more moisture and those microorganisms helped to get the soil back to a healthy state. I would recommend this compost to anyone.
