Compost is an organic soil conditioner created by decomposing organic matter under controlled conditions. Compost improves water-holding capacity, soil structure, porosity, and density creating a better plant root environment. Compost supplies a variety of macro and micro-nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and more!

Composting is the process of rapidly decomposing organic matter using aerobic (oxygen-using) microorganisms at high temperatures followed by a more gradual decomposition of any remaining by-products at more moderate temperatures.

Our Process
Our compost facility receives approximately 200 tons of community yard waste (grass, leaves, brush & tree trimmings) each day. Yard waste is high in nitrogen and is mixed with chipped branches to add carbon content. After grinding, the chips are placed into rows (windrows) and further processed by watering and turning. The internal row temperatures range from 132 to 150 degrees which kills weed seeds and bacteria. After about 3 to 5 months, the result is a humus-like product ready for use.

Certified
Our compost is laboratory tested and certified per standards set by the U.S. Composting Council.
