text: Ask Your Compost Supplier 
  
  **Whether you’re buying direct from the composting facility, or from a local**
  **vendor, here are some good questions to ask:**
  
  **• What ingredients go into your compost?**
  **• What compost products or blends do you sell?**
  **• Are there quality control or testing results available for these**
  **products? (These may be on the manufacturer’s website.)**
  
  **• Which product is best for my intended use?**
  **• What application rate do you recommend?**
  **• How much do I need for my area? (Or see pages 4-6.)**
