Compost is broken down organic matter used as a fertilizer to amend soil. Compost is typically made from green material, such as yard or food waste, and uses a multi-step decomposition process involving careful, chemical (and all-natural) conversion of the waste to usable, nutrient-rich product.

Yes, compost can be viewed as an organic, all-natural fertilizer. It is rich in nutrients and well-suited for small or large gardens, landscaping, horticulture, and agriculture. Compost acts as a soil conditioner, fertilizer, and natural pesticide for soil.

At a high-level, compost is ideal for: - Amending soil - Enhancing organic matter - Supporting root growth - Reproduction of soil microorganisms - Soil structure improvement - Reducing nutrient loss by plant leaching Since compost acts as a nutrient-rich, all-natural fertilizer, it provides the perfect growth environment and ideal conditions for plants of all kinds. In short, compost helps to increase water retention and infiltration, plant-available nutrients, and root growth. It reduces the need for chemical fertilizers as well as reduces plant diseases and pests by increasing beneficial bacteria.

It’s recommended to mix compost together with soil to help give it extra texture and body. It can be tilled directly into the soil to help boost the level of organic matter and fertility of the soil being used. Depending on your current soil conditions, different amounts of compost should be used (we can help you decide the appropriate amount to use in your project).

Anyone putting in a new lawn or garden should be using Busy Bee Compost to help nourish healthy plant growth. Because compost is comprised of a wide variety of different micro- and macro-organisms, Busy Bee Compost should be used yearly for big or small projects, from small gardens to big harvests, in order to aid in the growth of healthy produce, plants, and flowers.
