Compost
Carsonville’s Best Soil Amendment Resource
Nature’s Best Topsoil and Compost LLC utilizes a composting process to turn organic waste into valuable fertilizer. Farm-based compost is a living, aerobic group of organisms. With careful cultivation and monitoring from our soil biologist, the finished product contains a specific ratio of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potash (carbon) per yard. Throughout this process, the compost is blended and turned every three days, and monitored for temperature and proper element ratios. This process typically takes 8 weeks, depending on outside temperatures.
The finished product is rich, farm-based compost with virtually no odor. The ratio of your desired compost can be altered to produce special blends depending on your horticulture needs. Our soil biologist can help with blend recommendations for whatever you are trying to grow. By using one of our naturally blended products it will help amend the soil and add more holding capacity for nutrients and moisture. If you grow it, our company experts can help you germinate it!
Types of compost available
Because we know that not everyone needs compost for the same reasons, we have created several kinds. We currently have three different compost types that we specialize in. They include:
Mid-grade compost 1:1:1
This is a blend of pen-pack (an industry term for dairy, horse, sheep, and goat manure), plus straw and wood chips/sawdust, creating a finished product ratio of 20% nitrogen, 20% phosphorous, and 20% potash per yard of compost.
- Ideal for vegetable gardens and flower beds
- Three yards per acre is recommended for best results. Quantity required may vary.
Poultry compost 2:3:2
This is a smaller blend of pen-pack with more poultry manure, plus straw and wood chips and sawdust creating a finished product ratio of 40# nitrogen, 60# phosphorous, and 40# potash per yard of compost.
- Ideal for agricultural farming
- Two yards per acre is recommended for best results. Quantity required may vary.
Chicken litter (manure)
This material contains a much higher level of nitrogen.
- Ideal for agricultural farming
- 1 to 2 ton per acre is recommended for best results. Quantity required may vary.
