[Michalec, Chris] Compost is great. Problem is, if your soil is
already high in organic matter adding compost will prevent it from draining
properly. I can't recall what the optimum levels are for organic matter
right now, but if you get too much you have trouble. Just ask the
Pumpkinguru who once turned his whole patch into a gigantic compost pile and
burned up everything he tried to grow in it. Getting your soil just right is
a delicate balancing act. Too much of anything will cause problems. If all
you need is trace elements then you look for things that can supply them
more directly.
