Desert Compost

Desert Compost

Desert Compost is a dark, rich soil amendment made from composted green waste. It adds valuable organic matter to desert soils, helping improve soil structure, water retention, aeration and drainage. It is ideal for lawns, gardens, planting beds, trees, shrubs and agricultural applications.

The green waste is composted using a carefully managed windrow process. The material is regularly turned and reaches temperatures of up to 155°F to help reduce viable weed seeds and pathogens. After composting and curing, the finished material is screened to 3/8 inch for a more consistent texture.
