Compost

Creating the highest quality US Composting Council STA certified compost is something we are pretty passionate about.

Not only are we one of only 3 STA certified compost producers in the State of Michigan, but we have now teamed up with Agrilab Technologies Inc to create a truly state of the art composting system. Not only does this produce the highest quality compost, but the excess heat that is generated during the composting process is used to heat our buildings - helping to create an even more environmentally friendly process.

"Compost - is the product manufactured through the controlled aerobic, biological decomposition of biodegradable materials. The product has undergone mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures, which significantly reduces the viability of pathogens and weed seeds, and stabilizes the carbon such that is beneficial to plant growth. Compost is typically used as a soil amendment, but may also contribute plan nutrients"

All of our compost is STA (United States Compost Council) Certified. Our compost is tested quarterly to ensure it meets the exact specifications required by the United State Compost Council.

The Organic material in compost provides excellent water absorption and promotes root growth through microbial activity and our custom soil blends are ideal for seeding and planting.

Adding compost to soil takes carbon out of the atmosphere and puts it back into the earth where it can be beneficial to our environment.
