Compost
Our compost is a lawn and garden compost - think grass clippings and leaves. It's the microorganisms in compost that give it its magic. Millions of microbes go to work in the soil, cycling nutrients and making them available to be taken up by the plant. When combined with topsoil, compost essentially becomes a natural fertilizer, like our SuperSoil. Compost is also loaded with micronutrients and other complex biology that is extremely beneficial for plant growth.
Our high-quality compost is a premium blend of composted organic matter, grass, and woody amendments. It is sustainable and a safe choice for enhancing the quality of your plants and landscapes. It is the heart of every thriving garden lying with nutrient-rich soil, teeming with life and providing a foundation for vibrant, healthy plants.
When buying compost for your landscaping and gardening needs, there are some things you should look for in the compost you are buying. The compost should be ready or finished; not sold before the plant material is broken down.
• Maturity: Mature compost should be dark, crumbly, and have an earthy aroma.
• Texture: Quality compost should have a consistent texture without large chunks or clumps.
• Pest and Disease-Free: Ensure the compost has been properly composted to eliminate harmful pathogens and weed seeds. The heat generated in the composting does this.
COMPOST IS WATER SMART AND ECO FRIENDLY.
The well-balanced texture of our compost allows for excellent water retention, reducing the need for frequent irrigation and helping with water conservation. Naturally, there is a need for water in a drought, but less water lasts longer because of its quick absorption and retention. This compost blend also helps reduce runoff and captures rainwater, promoting a more sustainable approach to gardening.
FREE FROM UNDESIRABLES
Our composting is done for a long enough period to eliminate blend is carefully formulated to be free from weed seeds, pesticides, and herbicides.
One of the key benefits of our compost is its rich nutrient profile. Our compost blend is formulated to provide plants with essential nutrients without competing for them. A high wood content would lock up the nitrogen content in breaking down the wood fibers, so it is not available to the plants' roots. The mix contains no undesirable constituents, such as weed seeds, pesticides or herbicides, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for your plants to flourish.
