That's what I was thinking Kittriana, so they just chucked in whatever they had regardless of if it was decomposed. This is the brand, it says regionally formulated but not region? Good to know about the worms, I only saw 2 in the 1st bag, so wasn't too worried. I'm pretty sure they were regular earthworms like you see after it rains. …So the question is what to use as soil amendments if I can't trust compost?
