Manure/compost

[LarvaHunter]

Which are the best brands of compost to use?

I use Earthgro cow manure and organic compost. It seems to have a bunch of sand but it works, I just want to know a better brand or type of compost.

Make your own from woodland floor.

Most commercial garden soils or whatever they're called will have sand. Even mulches! A little doesn't seem terrible, I find pebbles in my substrate once and awhile but they like to use it as filler.

Often they'll have an ingredents label like food. I've spent hours in different garden stores. They all suck… Organic mircale grow is decent but I'd only use it if you're super desperate. I haven't been able to find any mulches that are decent.
