Hi Barbara,
What does curing compost mean?
I recently worked my compost into the veggie beds. Loads of worms and big
grubs (which I picked out and offered to the scrub jays) in the bin and
the compost
looked a lot like dark dirt but a bit fluffier. The compost matched the
the descriptions in books for finished compost but was this too soon to
have used it?
