My situation is this:

I can back my truck up at the local landfill, and for $20, they will fill
the back of an 8' bed with compost that they have made of organic materials
they have made. This compost includes fertilizers and all the best of
things my taxes can buy.

Good enough for flower beds and general landscape use, but not for
vegetable gardens. You have no idea what herbicides & insecticides
was used on those "organic materials" before they went to the landfill
for composting. People put some really nasty things at really nasty
rates on their yards before they cut, bag, and put on the curb for
pickup.

People put all those chemicals on their lawn, and then collect it all
up and send it to the waste center, which in turn means they will have
to put more chemicals on to replace what they removed. Stupid idea.
Good for the chemical companies. Bad for your yard and the environment.
I have no problem with using chemicals. It is the misuse and overuse
that is the problem.
