[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7030634, member: 54866"] If anyone has any concerns about contaminated compost, sample it, bag it and send it off to Sciantec who can test for virtually anything in soil, feed or forages. Ring them and ask which tests would be most appropriate. I have a sneaky feeling that the vast majority of commercially produced compost is composted as rapidly as possible with zip all concern for the end product and as a result it will be much too 'hot', wet or acidic for using with seeds and small horticultural plants. It is possible the fungal load is pretty potent too and basically too hostile for many plants. [/QUOTE]
