Rog,

Keep It Simple is supposed to be selling a good certified compost.

The guys I know who are using purchased compost have it shipped by the full pallet by common carrier. If you need this much I can get you numbers.

Thanks again Steve, will check it out, and from work lastnight, i asked around, and word spred throughout the plant, and i hit the motherload of great free finished compost from grass clippings, YES. Most of the 800+ workers have farms in there familys or own them, so i got it made now.
Thank you Steve , and thanks for always being there. I wish you great growing , and best of luck.
Rog.

Rog,

When the free finished compost runs low, you may need a back up. Check out North Country Organics at norganics.com. They have a compost brewers section. Also, you might want to look at soilsoup.com.

Good luck!

Rog mix those grass clipping with shredded paper for a really fast compost.

Thanks guys. i have placed 2 orders at keep it simple, and north country until i can get my compost.
And thanks Shannon, never thought of that exellent! since doing alot of research, if you apply commercial ferts, followed by a good compost tea or soil soup it will start imediately correcting the the soil back to it's natural state. Thank you all very very much. i wasnt going to finish a dairy this year, but you guys convinced me to show my hand, and maybe it will help others. Like right now we are in a severe drought, most wouldnt know what to do, Well all 8 plants are doing fantastic, without shading, and i'll share how thats done, i have no flagging or leaf scorch as of yet, and it's been really hot , and dry . I'm a very nice guy, and sent out over 400+ proven bigtime seeds, not including my own, i was gathering seeds long before i showed up here, over a 12 year span, i made some bad posts, and took the heat for it, but from hate mail from some, to people that have issues tying to control, and mislead,in chat. I'm not in to that. But i still rely on some of you veterans, for help. and you guys always come though.
Thank you all!, i tell new grower to seek you out if they need help if it's beyond me. And i'll make very few posts, and not partisapate in chat, i'm just growing again with un cluttered thoughts, with a goal in mind. it sure is nice.
Thanks again you guys for the info, and i hope that clears a few things up about me, That was just a small insite of the whole picture, and why i was going to leave. Now i'm just going grow leafs Ha! Take care Rog.

I'm sorry the 400+ proven seeds i sent out at my expence, were not solicitated, they were bought, or trades.
All seeds i have asked for in the past, and present personaly from growers. All stayed with me, and i still have them, as promised. Ok now i'm out of here had to make sure i said that.

All of the companies listed above can supply you with product. I would do a bit more reasearch though....

Do they have lab tests that show biology levels in their compost?

I look for the same thing in a brewer.
