Compost

Typo *private enterprises (plant fert/garden green)

Individual opinions/experiences may vary greatly. ESP with amateurs like us the chances of our opinions faltering vary. The best u guys can do is locate the source and see first person how the manufacturing is taking place.
Plant fert guy uses anaerobic process of decomposition. Burying waste in ground and waiting. Then digging the whole thing up. The process is not standardised. There r chances of lack of complete decomposition causing the smell.
Lahore compost texture is granular not powdery. It 'softens' the soil with even a 30:70 mix to prevent compaction.
Each batch goes thru a lab test before getting packed (to ensure maturity n quality)
The best mix I was advised by the marketing dept (ref their growing experiments with different ratios) was a 50:50 mix

One of the main factors why we don't see lahore compost in nurseries is bcz lahore compost itself is uninterested in venturing in small quantity sales: that is domestic customers n nurseries.
They supply in bulk to farmers of fruit crops and to organisations. Their target market is the one that consumes a lot more than small nurseries do in a year.
Nurseries too prefer other compost bcz those bear rapid results (that is due to inorganic fertilizer admixes, esp urea)
