That's interesting what VA Tom wrote about the chemicals, good idea to know what you are really getting.
I used to make a few hundred to 1000 + yards of horse manure compost at our place. When it's fresh, the nitrogen in it, is what breaks down the carbon, like hay and wood shavings, once that is completed by aeration, it's ready for use. If used sooner, it can rob nitrogen from your soils and work against your plants, best to have this full composted or broke down 1st. The composted material is an excellent soil conditioner, you can till it in, use it concentrated in the hole under your plant etc. For gardening, I use this compost, directly under the plant, but I do add dried blood and bone meal for organic fertilizer. I think as a rule of thumb, buy doing this and without analysis of the composted material it's a safe bet to address the nutrient needs of the plants you put in, and it's easy enough to beef up the compost one wheel barrow at a time, and place under the plant in the hole you dig for it. The plants really benefit from the nutrients, it holds moisture well, you can apply more fertilizer and till it in after the plants are in if need be, works great for all the garden vegetables I plant as I have clay/gravel underneath so when I dig the hole, it's hard ground, this compost is great when applied like this, as right now I only have about 6"-8" of topspoil. Eventually I will dig out the entire area and fill in with much better material.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
