Wowzers, look at that Fe! Were they composting piles of nails or something? That should throw your micros out of whack some.

Actually Kyle's compost test results are toned slightly DOWN from last year. These readings are probably correct.

Kyke, isn't this stuff made with composted dead animals?

About 60-70% dead animals and 40-30% organic fillers. It is toned down from last year, I told the guy about all my splits!

Apply one pound to each one thousand square feet only if it is delivered and applied free, by young ladies wearing only thongs, that are BP.com imaged.

kyle, it looks like you have some really well juiced soil again this air chilled spring.

Caution: Any hairs found in the young ladies thong can be determined to be organic, thus rendering this Ca laced soil application into your patch barely acceptable.

Sorry, I'm slow..
Stan, the compost is completely safe, it's core during processing gets to over 160 degrees so all pathogens are eradicated. I suspect that if you could get your hands on it, you *would* use it.
