What’s Inside: High-Nutrient Compost

Fertility: Our 100% organic microbe and nutrient rich compost provides unparalleled fertility for edible gardens. It is certified by the Organic Materials Research Institute (OMRI) and composed of 20% composted cow manure and 80% plant-based material.

Ideal for growing food: Use our compost as a soil amendment, nutrient-dense mulch, or planting medium for seedlings and seeds. It has a pH of around 7.

Non-edible plants: Some decorative or ornamental plants prefer a lower nutrient content. Some berry plants prefer a low pH compost around 4.5. Learn more in our Soil & Microbe Ecosystem blog category.
