Thank you for contacting FoxFarm with your inquiry and concerns, Id be glad to help. One of the main ingredients of Ocean Forest is composted forest humus, which has many benefits for your plants. The bark found throughout the composted humus is of the finest quality and aged considerably longer than any other products on the market. The acids and beneficial microbes that come from the bark being in the soil are one of the reasons our soils produce such fantastic results. The batch is not bad, I assure you, as our quality control procedures are incredibly thorough. We pull samples from the production lines 3 times per hour to check for consistency, ppm, pH, and contaminants of any kind. All ingredients are sifted and sourced from the highest quality sources available. I apologize if you feel the contents of your Ocean Forest did not meet your expectations, if you feel there has been an error and the contents are not as you expect, you can send in the manufacture code found at the top of the bag where it was sealed shut, and we can pull our retained sample to analyze for any problems. We can also send you a pre-paid shipping tag if you are interested in sending us a soil sample. We take great pride in our products, and if you feel you have received a product that is below our standards, we aim to make things right. I hope this helps
