I went and listened to the composting presentation Friday morning , and then went outside and they loaded the compost in the back of my suv.. I live about 15 min away and I could barely make it there due to the smell of it inside my vehicle ..I unloaded it immediately and drove straight to Barnes Feed store for any kind of order remover..I had to spend $10 on it and used it right there in the parking lot, in the rain. The smell was that vile..I’m just now writing this because the more I’m thinking about this..The more I’m worrying about health issues just handling the bags.. Here is a quote from a story here on n escambia dated May 2016 :
“It does not smell. That’s always the first question” ECUA Sanitation Supervisor James Courson said as he delivered the sample bags to a group in Bratt Wednesday morning. “It’s a good quality compost, and there’s no smell even when it is wet.”
There is no way that compost could be used around my home..
