A delivery of three cubic yards of compost at The Learning Garden is cause for celebration because we use it in all our garden beds as well as in our general use potting mix. It must be screened by a fairly fine screen for the regular potting mix; an even finer screen is essential if one wishes to use compost for sowing seeds.
