Sounds like your close to the source.Good to hear,glad you chimed in.I really havent had any problems,just didnt want to steer anyone in the wrong direction if they were already using a product that worked.You're definitely right about it drying out once its mixed,its actually really light.Im doing a mix of the blue bag COM compost w/their lobster this next run.I use a bale of happy frog soil conditioner which is a killer product as well.Digging the rice hulls in place of perlite I've switched to.Man,I have access to a shitload of cooked lobster shells all summer/fall.If i could find a way to keep the animals out,I'd consider composting it.I built a big 3bin compost bin last summer and did compost a few,but it was an assache.I've got to research what exactly is used(innards and all?)
If I didnt have space to mix up my own soil, I'd probably use that stuff.It is basically a super soil(reflects on the price tag around here,almost $40 a bag)but all the ingredients are niiice.
SSDD water only(COM Lobster compost)getting close

I'm in NC, but we have a farm store that makes orders for us from Seven Springs who distribute for COM, and doesn't charge any shipping, so it's about 25 beans a bag.
I bury stuff in the compost pile that the critters like. They don't get it all, and the more adventurous help aerate the pile, I'm pretty slack, lol!
The shells are loaded with chitins.
