Compost (Melbourne)
Trimble Rd near Wickham Rd

The compost is part pony and cow manure plus coastal hay and oak or pine. The pine and oak are separated. If you are growing more acid loving plants like tomatoes or blueberries you want pine. Greens, potatoes, beans and the rest are more suited in oak.
This tends to be fairly high nitrogen & will grow greens, beans, ornamental, various fruits and such. For root crops I'd add a little fire pit ash as an amendment to kick up the yield. If you are looking for heavy flowers or high yield flower crops out of it add some calcium with crushed clam/egg shells or bone meal. Everything pictured is growing in straight compost. I start all my seeds in this. No need to add dirt. Makes a great side dress for existing plants.
