While spreading you flick these onto paths or put them to recompost.
Or is only a small proportion of the total, it’s fine for sowing and planting.
I would plant into that.

Well most of the big heap seems to be good but you know, i can tell after it will be spread on the groud. I am just confused by the smell, everyhwere i red that well roted compost should not have smell. Also you mentioned this in your videos…

[arkadiusParticipant]

At least it is certified organic goat compost

Goaty smell confirms source! Utilise the compost, maybe through a barrow screen (sieve) or rake off the larger lumps to the edge,.They will soon breakdown .If you have really big clumps, then hit with fork, or lift and incorporate into a garden waste heap to compost for later.

Yep, by goaty smell I mean a slight poop (maybe amonia?) smell. On the other hand i have also red that a slightly amonia smell especially when talking about manure compost is fine and nothing to worry about. So hope i will not harm my seeds and seedlings 🙂
