We make compost!
By turning our piles frequently, monitoring for temperature and moisture content, and building the pile correctly in the first place, we can produce “finished” compost in a timely and consistent process. We begin by assembling a long narrow row with different materials ready to be composted. Next we use a piece of farm equipment pulled behind our tractor to turn each long row of input material.
Once the temperature has built up in a pile, we pull the compost turner through the row, and it uses finger-like tines to pickup, toss, and aerate the material. Our inputs are all agricultural materials (culled vegetables,straw and horse bedding from a neighboring farm,and other types of plants, weeds, stalks, etc.) Each pile takes about 8 to 10 weeks to go from a waste material into stabilized finished compost. We
spread the finished compost over our own fields to increase the organic matter, stimulate microbe activity, and build better soil.
Our compost is available year-round in 12-quart bags, just contact us.
