Hi Valerie, @vajmisc

I wouldn't expect commercial finished compost to be anything but well decomposed organic matter, usually dark brown with an earthy smell. Normally it would be sifted to a fairly uniform consistency, no chunks. Certainly no worms! I'd return that asap!

The second bag sounds like it hasn't been composted at all. Another one I would return.
