Worm Assisted Compost vs. Commercial Topsoil

So, today I would like to take a moment to show a comparison from this year's garden.
Since last year's turned out to be a bust, we were originally planning on just having one tomato plant.  So we poured our 10 gallons of natural, worm assisted compost we'd been saving all year into a single, 3' x 3' box.  

Shortly after, we all decided on a bit more garden and added a bigger 4' x 8' garden bed which now holds 30 onions, 1 green pepper, and 2 more tomato plants.  This one we just filled with your ordinary, run of the mill topsoil, peat moss and a bag or two of commercial compost.  Now let me just add in that we planted the larger one a little earlier and right after wards it got almost completely killed with frost.  

I'm talking only one part of a leaf to speak of.




Only a few weeks in now, and we are shocked at the difference in the beds.  Worm compost beats the pants off of miracle grow. The race is on!  Worm compost is ahead by a mile.
