Looking at typical compost made from kitchen scraps and from mixed hardwood
leaves, what would be considered its main inadequacy? Lack of lime? Lack of
phosphorus? Lack of potassium? Lack of nitrogen?

This is looking at compost made typically more or less aerobically but
without extra ventilation. My compost is very dark in color. Because I am
not adding soil I would assume a generalization about composts in general
would apply to my compost as well.
