I find Big Foot very affordable. Works good in soil. It's been around for a number of years and comes from Oregon.

I put over a ton of lobster shells in our pile summer/fall 2019. I feel the same as you and am fortunate to live by the ocean as well. Man, Ive been watching the shore for a few months and I cannot source any seaweed like last fall. It's all super dirty. I've been wanting to get some forest inputs into the pile, might as well now that i cant source anything from the shoreline.Great time of year for gathering stuff I’m lucky live close to the sea so get bin bags full of seaweed dead leaves for compost and wormer loads of Biology from local forest Why spend cash on crap when with a little effort and a Little knowledge and believe me I mean a little knowledge in my case

Composting is a little work but it becomes an act of love that I'm constantly trying to improve and learn more about. There are so many different beneficial inputs you can source, just like the leaf mold you brought up. I did that just last weekend. Pound for pound leaves = manure. Pretty cool.

I'd love to be able to compost, I just don't have the time.

You have time to throw away organic material in a trash can, then you have time to toss it in a different can for sure... tossing this compost is as easy as taking that can and dumping it into a larger bin and boom just turned your compost... throw some bokashi layers inbetween and boom compost does all its own work. You have plenty of time my friend, we all do...

Wouldn’t spend a dollar more on these myko products. The fresh stuff in the forest is much better and I’m still not totally convinced that adding mycos to potting soil in a horticulture setting is super effective. Tad hussey has a great interview with a biologist that does work with gold leaf farms. He ran some interesting tests regarding myco additives and saw zero benefit in regards to yield or cannabinoid percentages. For how expensive some of these products are to see no discernible benefit Is disappointing. One positive is I no longer feel like I’m missing out as o hadn’t been adding any myco products to my soil for 3 years.
