    Recommendations for quality compost?

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.
