by a commercial firm from whatever junk negligent Seattle citizens happen to throw into their yard waste/"compostable" bins. It's full of itty-bitty pieces of plastic and foil, and Lord-knows-what-else. Stinky, moldy stuff full of fungus gnats it was last year.
The City actually pays the firm a pretty penny to take it off their hands, and then the firm charges an additional outrageous fee
to end consumers.

I am down to one old goat and she does not produce enough for my garden . Lucky my old horse pile is still available, but at 5 years old I am not sure of its potency.
If you can find a source for goat or llama or another ruminant it is far less likely to give you weed seeds.
