Leaf Compost
To all of the compost experts, is a compost made entirely of leaf material a suitable product for top dressing? I am having a hard time finding a certified source - I found one - about an hour away @ $25/yd. Local leaf compost is $19/yd.
Thanks, Pistol

Go local. Leaf compost is OM broken down from many different environments and from nutrients grabbed from deep in the soil. Anything composts into something useful. Even cow manure...

I just looked at the local municipal compost made from leaves. It has no fungal activity, but decent bacterial counts if you're one of those "Lawns are bacterial, trees are fungal" types of people. And at $10 bucks a yard you can't beat it. Use the local source!

unless you are using the compost to make compost tea with fungi in it (as something important to the user)
