I'm staring a backyard garden and don't have a lot of inputs to make compost, although I'm going to try regardless. In the meantime I will end up getting store-bought compost, probably by the yard from the municipal program here, to help out my hard clay soil. My question is: considering that store-bought compost is likely devoid of sufficient bacterial/fungal activity, but still has the proper C:N, pH, friability, etc, can you inoculate it to add the microbial life back? If so, what can you use?
Attached is the analysis of the compost I'm considering.
