Problem with commercial compost
"Broadback" wrote
I use a lot of compost every year, 4-5 large bags. the last 2 years of so it has been a PITA. It is so compressed that I am spending more time and energy loosening it it using it. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a commonly available make that is not usually compressed, of have you some easy way to loosen it? TIA Yes that has happened to me too, big lumps that need you to get your hands in to break up, also I found last year when I had a couple of bags stored over winter that the next spring I had lumps of fungus in the compost which I had to remove bit by bit. They keep telling us that peat free is the way to go but I do wonder if these modern composts are fit for purpose if you actually want to grow plants as apposed to using in patio troughs etc. -- Regards.
