https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg6EApFRhpY This is a great video for learning more about the different types of composts and mulches, and the factors that determine their quality. For this year's gardening efforts, I used a mix of mushroom compost, my own compost and vermicompost... my results so far are much better than last year, and I think adding a blend of materials helped.
