Quoted By:
I got 2 tons(literally) of compost delivered the other day and noticed it had a slightly alkaline smell. Kind of bleach. It's allegedly made of cow manure, food waste and industrial waste (forestry stuff).
Anyway. How can I tell when compost is "finished" composting? I tilled some into my soil (heavy clay) and used the rest as a mulch got flower bed. The tilled stuff is doing great. The mulch appears to have completely burnt out a flower bed and some artichokes.
