Oh yeah. For those who worry, the compost doesn't smell at all. It is very well aged and them micro-screened before delivered.
My zoysia is struggling too - new house, 6 mos old.

Re your Black Kow matter. I'm thinking of going direct to the source >>> buy a cow (any color...) Let her graze and poop all over to her heart's content. Bonus would be a savings on lawn cutting. Now, only if the ARC and neighbors approve.
