About Our compost
Our compost is made from organic materials collected from households and businesses throughout Buffalo and its suburbs. This organic material is mostly food waste mixed with horse bedding (manure, straw, hay) and woodchips. When mixed properly they decompose into nutrient rich fertilizer.
Compost is a natural way to help increase organic matter in your soil, improve water retention, soil structure and increase the microbial population. In addition, compost provides extended fertility not found in synthetic fertilizers.
If you’re a long time gardener or just breaking ground on a new plot, compost can help to bring life to new or well used soils.
