Hi.
Yes, I've used McEnroe for years. It's a bit heavy so I usually mix in some milled sphagnum moss (from Griffin Greenhouse Supply) or, more recently, coco fiber/coir. I've been happy with my modified version; fussing around with it might not be reasonable at your scale.
McEnroe started making a "lite" version a year or so ago but I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they've added to make it lighter.

We are trying to decide which organic compost based potting soil to purchase this season to use for our vegetable starts.
We are considering McEnroe Farms from Millerton, NY. (http://www.mcenroeorganicfarm.com/composting/growing) Has anyone used their potting soils before? I spoke with someone who did use them but it was a number of years ago and he recalls the farm having trouble with the blends but doesn’t remember the specific issue. I would hope any issues back then would have been resolved by now. Their prices are very reasonable for 1 and 2 ton sling bags.
There is always Vermont Compost but that will cost me at least a $1000 more for my needs.
