Ok guys so I had the same bag of af compost for a few weeks. A little over a week ago I used most of it to amend used soil. Today when I was turning the soil. I saw a some lil redish orange predator mites doing their thing. Ever since I started using af compost in teas and top dress, slowly but surely all gnats were gone. As a top.dress my soil stays wet longer too. Around 3 days extra. AF compost kicked my home mades composts ass. I even mixed in some AF in my own compost bin. AF makes a good compost tea too.
