Maske's Organic Gardening

Compost alert found plastics and Styrofoam ground up in the compost. Here is a photo of just off the top of four small raised beds after a rain. This is totally true. I am still picking plastic out of this compost, three weeks later.

***Poison Hemlock Garden Nightmare*** Steer clear of purchasing bulk compost from Maske’s Organic Gardening unless you're keen on welcoming a surprise mix of volunteer tomatoes, amaranth, and even poison hemlock! Despite having ten brand new 16-foot raised beds filled with their compost, we're now battling poison hemlock emerging this spring, a seed menace that can lay dormant for up to 6 years. My temptation to leave a review last year was halted in a desire to show grace to a clearly unhappy person, but recent discovery of the danger that we’ve left with demand attention. The owner's disregard for my instructions led to compost being dumped haphazardly, causing damage to our property, including breaking several slate stones on our new path with his trailer. When I sought information on seed control measures, the owner's disrespectful response before hanging up on me was the last straw. With a customer service rating of 0/10 and the ongoing mess in our garden, this company is an absolute no-go. Attached is a visual testament to the chaos that is emerging this spring after purchasing compost from them. I’ve included images of the problematic plant, along with identifications from PlantNet, Google Lens, and my iPhone's plant ID feature. The plant, specifically poison hemlock, is confined to one area of our property, leaving no room for doubt about its origin. This reinforces the impact of the company's negligence, turning what was meant to be a thriving garden into a battleground against unwanted flora.

Due to the political signage in front of your business, I will no longer do business with you. These candidates threaten my democracy, as you do when you vote for them.
