Hey everybody,
I recently sieved my compost and stored it so i can soread it around in my garden once the fall hits. I've been wondering if anyone knows a quick and easy way to test the quality of my compost.
I'm not looking for labs i can send it to (i'm in the netherlands and i don't think we have them here, at least not available for consumers).
i've read some tests where u put different teabags in the compost and if they decay is less than x amount of days, its good. I'm looking for experiments like that.
I've added some pictures of my compost so you cab enjoy. I harvested over 300 liters, which im pretty proud of.

Takes some compost, add radish or other microscreen seeds. Could the number that sprout out of the total
Just sow some spare tomato seeds or anything that should easily & quickly germinate. Compare the results to how well tomato seeds germinated in something you know is good.
edit: if you find that trying to germinate in this untested compost yields poor results, it’s probably not quite ready.
Taste it
It passes the eye test. I think your looking good
