Find a mushroom plant! Around here certain contractors have "exclusive rights" to all the compost generated by the plant. They in turn offer it for sale!

Look in your yellow pages, there should be several firms advertising in there.

Uh huh....Gotta watch out for salts. Check to see that the material has sat outdoors for a length of time. Also start some bean seeds in a small pot of the stuff. If they die you'll have reason for concern. If they don't you'll have a decent amendment.

Beans germinate quickly & are fairly sensitive. Hence in a few days he will know the rough salt status without a costly test.
