Since you may not have access to "safe" compost, consider using worm
castings.
I use them all the time, esp. when planting or transplanting.
As you probably know, worm castings are the result of "stuff" passing
through our friends, the earth worms.
The castings are odorless, fine textured soil modification.

Since whatever traveled through the worm could not exit unless the worm
were still alive, castings are generally very safe.
