Compost
Made from locally-sourced food and plant waste, our compost helps enhance soil health to boost plant growth and agricultural productivity. It’s great for backyard gardeners and commercial growers.
Available in 1/2″ and 1/4″ sifts. Bagged or bulk quantities.
Composted Mulch
This product is the woody material sifted out of our compost. It is rich in color and in carbon with a boost of microbes from the composting process.
Great for mulching around trees, shrubs and perennials.
BioChar
This carbon-rich soil amendment is made by heating organic material in a low-oxygen environment. Its highly porous structure helps soil retain moisture and nutrients while providing habitat for beneficial microorganisms. When combined with compost, biochar can help build healthier, more resilient soil and keep carbon stored in the ground for the long term.
Fill Soil
Mineral fill dirt / top soil is available to mix with compost to make great soil blends for raised beds and other applications.

Compost Benefits
Compost application is generally recognized to have these soil health and plant growth benefits:
- Improves soil structure and porosity – creating a better plant root environment;
- Increases moisture infiltration and permeability, and reduces bulk density of heavy soils – improving moisture infiltration rates and reducing erosion and runoff;
- Improves the moisture holding capacity of light soils – reducing water loss and nutrient leaching, and improving moisture retention;
- Improves the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soils;
- Supplies organic matter;
- Aids the proliferation of soil microorganisms;
- Encourages vigorous root growth;
- Allows plants to more effectively utilize nutrients, while reducing nutrient loss by leaching;
- Enables soils to retain nutrients longer;
- Contains humus – assisting in soil aggregation and making nutrients more available for plant uptake;
- Buffers soil pH
Compost Calculator
How much compost do you need?
Tell us what you’re working on and enter a few basic dimensions. We’ll estimate the amount of compost you need and show you both bulk and bagged quantities, along with a practical ordering recommendation.
½” sifted compost is a coarser screened compost for general soil amendment and applications where larger organic material is appropriate.
¼” sifted compost is a finer compost for finer applications with less wood chip material.
