 The Benefits of Compost

  • Improves the soil structure and increases permeability and infiltration
  • Provides much needed organic matter and restores biological activity
  • Stabilizes the soil pH by increasing the soil's buffering capacity
  • Improves moisture holding capacity, reducing erosion and run-off
  • Supplies beneficial microorganisms to soils and growing media
  • Enables soils to retain nutrients longer
  • Supplies organic matter
