Compost Products

We make one of the best composts in New England, suitable for your family to grow their own vegetables. Our compost is rich because we utilize fruits, vegetables, fish, lobsters, coffee grounds and more as our nutrient source. To top it off, we lab test our compost frequently to ensure quality. 

Using compost improves soil health by adding nutrients, enhancing microbial activity, and improving water retention. Create a solid foundation for growth all season long. Learn more about our compost quality.

Bulk Leaf Mulch

Protect your plants with natures natural mulch. Leaf mulch is a great alternative to traditional bark/wood mulch. It breaks down quicker, turning into a leaf humus that will nourish the soil below.

Bark and wood mulch suppresses weeds by depleting the soil.  This is useful in commercial landscaping applications where you don't want plants to grow.  

Leaf Mulch will nourish the soil as it breaks down. However it needs to be put on thicker in order to suppress weeds. It is excellent for vegetable gardens, perennial gardens and deciduous trees.

Appearance: Brown, Uniform, Tasteful

Apply 3 inches thick. Easy to spread. 

Price $71.00 per yard. 4 yard minimum. Quantity Discounts.

Fine Screened Compost for Yard Health

Order now, for delivery in June. Late spring is an excellent time to top dress your yard and plants with compost to feed your soil. Well fed soil is a better habitat for your plants roots. Healthy plants draw down carbon (sugars) that feed your soil. Adding compost to soil has been proven to improve carbon sequestration in soil. (Kerline, 2019) 

Yard Benefits

  • Feed your perennials and trees.
  • Feed your lawn where you want lush green and/or wildflowers. Cover reseeded grass to retain moisture and provide nutrients.
  • Top dress your vegetables (even if there is compost in your soil already).
  • Less watering needed
  • Drawdown carbon from the atmosphere.
  • Improve property value with more green growth and more blooms.

This compost is finely screened to 1/2 inch so that it's easy to spread across your lawn, trees, or garden beds. Comes with instructions for you or your landscaper.

Order in 1/2 yard increments.

Check out our Great Suburban Drawdown Challenge to learn more ways to drawdown carbon with your yard.
