Benefits of the Compost Products
• Improves water retention
• Heating phase of composting process eliminates weed seeds
in NatureMade™ Compost
• Encourages a green and lush lawn
• Provides organic matter
• Higher nutrient levels than peat moss
• Improves soil aeration for root development
• Encourages healthy plant growth
• Controls erosion
• The quality finished compost produced is a slow release, nutrient-rich
material and when added to soil will improve soil structure, texture,
aeration and water holding capabilities
• Mixing the compost with soil will control erosion, increase soil
fertility, maintain proper pH balance and promote healthy root
development in plants
• Compost can control soil-borne diseases and insects. The naturally
occurring thermophilic temperatures that occur during composting
destroy pathogens and weed seeds (just as in milk pasteurization).
• During composting, microorganisms convert nitrogen into a less
volatile form allowing longer material storage times and the ability
to use the compost at your convenience
