My main problem with good compost is to get enough for everything that
would benefit from it. At the moment my main problem is to transform
over an acre of clay to something workable and I can't afford to put all
of it in one trench. Help may be at hand, as the local council recycle
garden waste and they have dropped the price of their product to a point
that large loads are affordable, as long as we have the effort to
collect it.
