STA CERTIFIED COMPOST
Our compost is 100% natural, locally made with native ingredients, regularly tested, and certified by the US Composting Council. It’s used to improve soil in landscapes, gardens, lawns, and farms. It provides rich organic humus for soil restoration and amendment, improves soil structure and aeration in heavy or compacted soils and water holding capacity in sandy soils. It contains beneficial soil bacteria and fungi for natural plant health and stabilizes pH while increasing soil's ability to retain water and nutrients.
