Well, I just got a home and I'm trying to plan out a garden at some point (gotta hack out some trees to get the proper light and my ideal setup area first) in the near future. My neighbor actually has a bit of a garden at his house, and I've been asking him some questions..
Anyhow, he referred me to something called TAGRO...it's treated waste, made into compost or potting soil. More details on their website, but here's a little clip:
Made of a blend of City of Tacoma Class A Biosolidsthe EPAs highest rating highly screened sawdust and other gardening elements, TAGRO products offer you an attractive medium for all of your gardening needs.
Here are just some of the benefits:
TAGRO provides plenty of nutrients for your plants - phosphorus, nitrogen, magnesium, potassium and sulfur. A chemical fertilizer would provide some but not all of these nutrients. Shovels with sawdust, sand and biosolids
TAGRO is ideal in low-water landscaping conditions because it conditions soil to provide more moisture holding capacity.
TAGRO has a low ammonia content and a high amount of organic nitrogen thats released slowlyso you stretch out the benefits. The slow-release feature of the nitrogeneven during rainstormshelps TAGRO to last for an entire season.
Research at both Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Washington (UW) show that things planted in TAGRO grow taller, greener and produce more blooms than those grown in commercial or chemical products.
TAGRO helps the environment and greens our community

Why is it so cheap?

the way it works around here is the local sewer companies pay the compost company to take their waste, local septic pumping companies pay to dump their loads as well. There is so much waste that is composted the compost companies have to pay to get it hauled to the landfills, instead of having to pay to get it dumped they spray the local farm fields for free and people can go and pick up how ever much that they want. The compost companies already made their money on the front end. The compost is just a waste product they need to dispose of. I know a local composter was talking about building a incinerator to burn it and generate electricity so they can sell it back to the power companies and make money off the back end as well

So again, I'm curious if anyone would be hesitant to use this? It's poopie, after all. They do offer it for free, within a reasonable amount. Delivery is cheap too, I've thought about doing that. At the very least I may do this to re-seed my lawn.
I'm just not sure what that grading of the soil means.I think the article said that most commercial farms and stuff use Grade level B, and this is grade A

one of my friends worked for a company that designs and builds some of these crap incinerators that generates electricity.
