About Our Compost
Our compost is tested and approved by the US Composting Council and is a certified Made in Alaska product. We are proud to offer a high-quality Alaska compost solution that contains no manures, making it safe and effective for your gardening needs.
Consider our nutrient-rich worm compost as a superior alternative if you're looking for manure for gardens.
How We Make Compost
Our composting process involves red wiggler worms, which are highly effective in breaking down organic material. Unlike some other composting methods that use manure, we stick to green waste like lawn clippings and wood chips, creating a clean and sustainable local compost. Materials are generally windrowed into 6-8' tall piles. The temperatures are monitored regularly. When the temperature of the compostables reaches roughly 130 - 150 degrees, the pile is then turned, ensuring the highest quality.
If you’re in Anchorage, AK, and need compost, our products are made with your local environment in mind.
How We Process Compost
After a few months of this process, the material is put through a screening process. With the finished compost we commonly make several products. Material is put through a 1" screen. Finer compost may be run through a 3/3'' screen.
The material that has gone through the 3/8" screen ultimately gets either bagged or blended with specialty soil and compost blends. Some of the more course compost gets made into compost socks for erosion control projects. The remaining material gets put back into the compost piles for further composting to a more desirable size.
The worm compost socks and bulk compost have been used on many state, municipal and larger-scale construction projects throughout the state of Alaska.
Compost delivery is available, whether you need it for personal use or commercial projects. We also offer bulk compost for those looking for larger quantities.
Key Benefits of Compost
Natural Erosion Control: Compost has a fibrous makeup, making it perfect for adhering to slopes and preventing erosion.
Nutrient-Rich for Plants: Microorganisms in the compost produce nitrogen, which feeds your plants and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers.
pH Buffering: Compost naturally maintains a neutral pH, supporting healthy plant growth.
LEED-Compliant: Our compost is an environmentally responsible, LEED-compliant product.
Lightweight: Compost weighs about half as much as topsoil, making it easier to handle and reducing hauling and labor costs.
Efficient: A 2” layer of compost replaces 4" of topsoil as far as organic makeup is concerned, offering superior organic content and reducing labor.
Easy Application: Our compost can be applied to hard-to-reach areas using blower trucks because it does not bind up as much as topsoil, making it ideal for challenging terrain.
Soil Remediation: Compost is also effective in binding heavy metals and pollutants, helping to remediate contaminated soils and preventing pollutants from migrating to water sources or being absorbed by plants.
