Hello Leee,
Thank you for taking the time to review our Cutting Edge 1 cu. ft. Screened at 3/8 in. Premium Quality Compost Pallet. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experience with this product.
Our Cutting Edge Premium Quality Compost is dredged and shipped straight to our facility in Hudson, MA. This is a natural product designed outdoor use; we make sure to have some moisture in our outgoing compost packages to ensure the product does not dry out or become unviable in transit. Your plants should react well. Wishing you all the best with your gardens!
Sincerely, Tommy Blank Industries, LLC
