OK asks: Advice for packaging/transporting compost?
*Not compostable materials, but the end product – so, the mulchy soily result of a year’s worth of composting.
I have very little space for a garden, but a very large compost pile. (Lots of trees=little sun, but lots of dead leaves. Combined w/ a mostly vegetarian diet, which=lots of organic waste.)
I’d like to bag it all up and distribute it to friends w/ gardens/CG plots, but I’m not sure if doing so in plastic bags will harm (suffocate?) the microorganisms, etc., that make the material useful.
No easy access to a pickup, so unless I’m willing to fill the trunk of my Honda w/ compost (I’m not), I need to package the stuff in something. This shouldn’t be that complicated, but I feel kind of stumped…

Why not purchase some totes with lids. This way you can transport them easily and your friends can store them, transport them or recycle them back to you for more.
