Your One Stop Organic Compost Supplier in St. Louis

Organic compost can be defined as organic matter that has been left to decompose and is then recycled into a nourishing fertilizer for your plants. Organic compost is made by adding moisture to a pile of organic matter like leaves, green waste, and brown waste and allowing this to break down over several weeks or months. When this breaks down, it becomes a humus or compost like material that acts as one of the best organic fertilizers you can find. Our composts are carefully made and are enriched with nutrients like potassium and nitrogen that will help your plants grow healthy and strong.

The Components of Organic Compost

There are many different and beneficial components that can be added to organic compost to make it nourishing and rich. Here are a few things that go into organic compost:

• Green Waste: This is any nitrogen-rich components including vegetable and fruit peels, fruit rinds, coffee grounds, tea bags and tea leaves, old vegetables that cannot be used for cooking, plant trimmings, grass clippings, fallen fresh leaves, stale bread, cooked plain rice or pasta, and egg shells.
• Brown Waste: This is any carbon-rich components such as shredded paper of almost any kind, shredded cardboard, dry straw, bedding from animal cages, dry fallen leaves, broken twigs, chopped up branches, pine cones, old napkins, pine needles, coffee filters, sawdust, brown paper bags, and wood chips.

Benefits of Using Organic Compost in Your Garden

There are countless advantages to adding organic compost to your plant beds and gardens. Here are a few reasons why you should use compost for your landscape:

• It improves soil consistency and helps to break up heavy and compact soils. This improves the chances of growing plants on that land. Soil oxidation is improved as well.
• Moisture retention of the soil is drastically improved.
• The improvement in soil structure improves plant health and keeps them stronger and healthier. Therefore, plants are less likely to die from drought stress.
• Organic compost contains a high concentration of locked-in nutrients. These are slowly released into the soil over time, giving plants a regular dose of nutrition. There is no leaching or washing away of the nutrients after rainfall. Additionally, the need for chemical fertilizers is reduced noticeably.
• Organic compost has microbes that control diseases, which may be contained in the soil.
• Studies have shown that organic compost can encourage the production of enzymes in plants. Therefore, your shrubs and trees are given an immunity boost because of the compost.
