Composting is the controlled decomposition of organic waste. Hot composting relies primarily on the activity of beneficial microbes. These microbes stabilize organic matter into an environmentally friendly product (compost). Thus, compost is a cured stable organic material that will improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil.
Ingredients
Our compost is derived from various organic materials which contribute to a nutrient-dense and microbially rich end product.

Our Process
Pile temperatures are allowed to range between 55-70 degrees Celsius for at least 21 days. This ensures that appropriate thermal death points are achieved. It controls pests, diseases, parasites, and other unwanted organisms that may be present in the compost pile. The pile is managed for an extra 4- 6 months to verify that it is properly cured before use.
How to use
Soil mix preparation– Substitute compost at 25 – 30 % with regular soil or other growing media.
Drill planting– For open-field crop production, we recommend applying compost to the specific growing area. This minimizes weed stimulation in uncultivated areas and reduces input costs. This is achieved by simply incorporating 20-30% compost into the planting hole during transplanting.
Mulching– Compost when used purely or combined with wood chips or shredded dry leaves provides many benefits. It contributes to weed suppression. It also supplies nutrients, improves soil structure, and increases microbial activity. Apply at least a 1-inch thick band of compost around the tree trunk annually.
Compost tea– using a ratio of 1 part compost to 10-15 parts rainwater, steep compost for at least 7 days. Apply as a drench or foliar spray twice per week.
