Compost is one of the best things you can add to the soil in an organic garden but it is also time consuming if you try to do it yourself and many times the compost you buy is not what you expect it to be. But Garden's Gold is made out the same material you would probably use to make your own compost. It doesn't contain any animal manures, sludge or industrial waste like many other bagged compost s. Just pure and natural!
