Compost - Erosion Control

Nature’s GREEN-RELEAF™ Erosion Control Compost is a Certified Compost made of organic humus that has the unique ability to improve the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of soils and provide growing media for vegetation to prevent erosion and sedimentation run-off. Our Erosion Control Compost is screened to 1/2 inch and tested in the US Compost Council's Seal of Testing Assurance Program. This product meets or exceeds the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials specifications for compost blanket media. Both the NC Department of Transportation and the SC Department of Transportation have used this product for compost blanket installation.

Novozymes Nature’s GREEN-RELEAF is a proud participant in the US Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance Program (STA). This is a compost product testing, labeling and information disclosure program designed to give you the information you’ll need to get the maximum benefit from the use of our compost product. The program was created in 2000 and is the consensus of many of the leading compost research scientists in the United States. No other compost testing program is available to compost producers or compost buyers that will give you this type of detailed information. The program tests for the following parameters:
  • pH
  • Soluble Salts
  • Trace Elements
  • Nutrients
  • Organic Matter
  • Moisture
  • Particle Size
  • Stability
  • Maturity
  • Heavy Metals
  • Pathogens
