Since I'm growing about 75 trays a week now, I've got more compost than I could ever need!

Fantastic. 75 trays is impressive. I find once the numbers are figured into cost, even for the home use, it is very reasonable since i no longer, or rarely, buy salad. I did recently buy red leaf and boston for hand rolls but the filling was all my home grown micros.
Big handfuls of fresh cut greens on every meal. priceless.
