OUR COMPOST
aka "Black Gold"
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, our compost will provide extended fertility not found in synthetic fertilizers. If you’re a beginning gardener or just breaking ground on a new plot, compost can help to bring life to new or abused soils.
Our compost is made from organic materials collected from households and businesses throughout Buffalo and it’s 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 for your sustainable farm or garden.
