This breaks my heart to have to do this... But I was warned by someone this year and didn't listen so maybe someone will learn from my mistake.nnFor the first time ever we went and got a load of compost from the ISU farm. I was really excited to support my Alma Mater... Even more so since I was an Ag graduate.nnI have never in my life seen compost as horrible as this.nnI understand the farm is right off the interstate so plastic stuff mixed in, I get.nnBut it's about 1/2 mulch/sticks and 1/2 compost.nnThere are rocks everywhere. I've literally found 6 WHOLE plastic spoons and forks. There are glass shards all over. Zip ties. Rubber bands. I've found 2 latex gloves. I mean what the friken heck.nnI've only used 4 buckets full of the TON we got.nnBut that's not the worst. The worst is there are literal BONES in the compost.nnBONES PEOPLE. I've found about 10 so far in the little I've picked through.nnI am seriously disgusted and so disappointed that the department I graduated from is selling something like this.nnPlease spend the extra money and go to the store or find another local source.nAnd please pass it along to other gardeners NOT to buy compost from the ISU farm.
Got two pickup loads for some raised beds. Very pleased with the material and I'm excited to see how the plants respond. Very minimal foreign material and IMO completely acceptable considering the food waste diverted from landfills.
