Why use compost?

We turn your yard trimmings and other organic material into compost! Enrich your soil naturally, prevent erosion, conserve water, close the loop, save money, and fight climate change with local compost! It’s perfect for farms, vineyards, gardens, yards, and landscaping projects. The composting process encourages the production of beneficial micro-organisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) which in turn break down organic matter to create humus. Humus – a rich nutrient-filled material – increases the nutrient content in soils. Compost has also been shown to suppress plant diseases and pests, reduce or eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, and promote higher yields of agricultural crops.

It helps decrease GHG emissions! Composting significantly decreases greenhouse gas emissions. The nutrients from organic materials are sent back into the earth as natural soil enhancers instead of to a landfill, where they sit forever, giving off methane gas (a greenhouse gas at least 30 times as potent as carbon dioxide). Landfill operators claim to capture methane, but studies show that a significant percentage is still escaping into the atmosphere and heating the planet. Instead, the organic compost produced from yardwaste and other organics is used at many local gardens, farms, and vineyards, decreasing the need for synthetic fertilizers, conserving water, saving unnecessary transportation energy, and closing the loop locally and sustainably. Our Compost is OMRI listed & CDFA approved for use in organic production and certified with the US Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance.
