Made in small batches, Black Earth Compost is without grass clippings but instead utilizes the riches of a bounty of food scraps collected from residents, schools, supermarkets, colleges, and more, all across New England.
Compost is an excellent soil amendment to add to your yard for soil and plant health. Use it as a mulch for moisture retention, mix it into the soil before you plant, or topdress your lawn, trees and shrubs to provide added nutrients and organic matter.
Our compost is rich in humus, nurtures beneficial micro-organisms, is free of any viable weed seeds, and contains an abundance of immediate and slow release nutrients.
- A Broad Range of Ingredients to support a bio-diverse compost
- Minimal Grass Clippings that can contain herbicides/pesticides. We actively work to exclude grass from our yard debris ingredient
- Free of Weed Seeds
- Lab tested for optimal composition (for salts, nutrients, heavy metals, soil food web biology, pathogens and PFAS)
- Screened to 5/8ths inch
- Made in New England! Our compost sites in Massachusetts and Connecticut serve as local sources of nutrients, making our region more resilient.
Ingredients
- LEAVES: provide the organic matter
- FOOD SCRAPS: to make the compost rich
- LOBSTERS: for their chitin-rich shells
- WOOD SHAVINGS: from stables, create soil pores to let roots breathe
- SEAWEED, CLAM, OYSTER SHELLS: for the vigor of the Atlantic
Ingredients are blended then composted in aerated windrows. Finished product is lab tested and plant trialed for quality.
*Our compost does come from community sources, which means it may contain some plastic and trash. We do our best to keep this to a minimum. This is the tradeoff to getting the rich nutrients contained in food scraps.
