does anyone know anything about cotton burr compost? it seems really fluffy, like it would retain water really good, i'm planning on getting a bag of it to mix with some black kow composted manure. anyone ever used the stuff?

composted cotton burr if im not mistaken is high in nitrogen, so i would think it would be alittle rich in nitrogen, but still not nearly as strong as a traditional meal/guano/chem fert

My instinct is that it would be most appropriate as a soil amendment for soemone who is growing outdoors in an area that is very sandy, because that is when you need your medium to hold moisture the most.
Indoors, I would probably avoid it just for that reason. I have seen a thousand pictures of plants indoors dying of overwatering, and only a handful from too little moisture! It is easier to add moisture than to take it away.

If cotton compost and cow poop are your whole medium, you should DEFINITELY add a lot of lightener at teh very least- I don't know how good that combo would be by itself and would be super careful. But as amendments to sandy ground, oh hell yeah!
