===== Importing compost =====

Generally, I don't have enough to meet my needs. I might tend to rush a batch and put it on the ground before it's fully cured but that's not a great idea. 

==== Cedar Grove ====

{{ :garden:cultivate:compost:img_1147.jpg?300|}}Recently I learned of Cedar Grove recycling. This company takes yard waste from Seattle area recycled garden prunings, food products, and vegetable trimmings. They say they screen out wood products, which pleases me. I'm applying their Booster Blend gardening soil to my 2014 winter patch. I have it next some of my home-made compost, so I'll see if there is any difference.

It appears rich, but the proof is in the growing and in how it affects the structure of the soil. I'm letting the micro-organisms have at it.

<note important>I received an analysis of Cedar Grove's compost and it has a carbon to nitrogen ration of 19. That's way too little N and too much C so I don't intend to use their compost.</note>
