What are 5 types of compost?

SuzieBB
13 years ago

I'm just getting started. Mel recommends 5 types of compost but I only know of mushroom, horse, and cow compost. I'm also familiar with garden center bags labeled just "compost".

Does it also mean just different brands of generic compost since they may be made up of different materials?

Thanks :)
