I’m not trying to be sarcastic. Like what are you using it for? Top dress, soil build. Grow plants in it? This is pretty basic manure compost which there are a million brands. None are really different than others when they are bagged and labeled. .5 .5 .5 is the standard for this type of product. So what’s your plan with it and I can tell ya if your on track

I usually just use the black kow in place of bat guano when making Subcools supersoil.











then I saw that stuff sitting next to the black kow it perked my curiosity



Just wondering if anyone had ever used it as a soil amendment as I have not tested it out yet.



I don't have a compost pile to draw from, yet.

I wouldn’t add more than 5% per total volume of soil. Can’t hurt to include more biodiversity but lots of commercial compost like that can be full of sodium and antibiotics/hormones from the manures. I’d steer clear personally as fresh castings will always be a better compost source.
Look up the sodium content. You’d be surprised
