That is why I said,"properly made compost". Most people leave out a lot in composting and don't turn regularly so it decomposes slowly or rots instead of composting and will be missing nutrients. (It's gotta stay hot inside. Rotting causes a very high N content with little else.) It must have a wide array of kitchen scraps and wood ashes and some wood particles of some sort are helpful.
I agree, it may not have exactly every nutrient for a specific type of plant, but I have never seen things grow and produce like they do in my compost. Finding the energy and materials needed to make it here and now is difficult but when I was in my 20's & 30's I had a massive garden in Illinois.
