We pick up food scraps and leaves from our home composting subscribers all year. We monitor the food waste stream, turn and water our compost piles while carefully monitoring them all season long. We finish with curing, screening and soil testing our material to make sure we only have the best quality going out the door.

The rest is up to you – put it in your garden, lawn or top dress your house plants to help retain water content and feed your plants a natural fertilizer. 

Our compost is available in one, ten, twenty and fifty pound deliveries within our service area in Fort Collins, Timnath, Wellington and Laporte, Colorado. 

Locally Made

We collect food scraps from homes in Northern Colorado and turn it into compost the old fashioned way.

The Perfect Fertilizer

Dress your house plants, gardens or lawns with a half inch to two inches of compost and water in this natural fertilzer

Retain Water, Improve Soils

Using compost improves soil structure and water retention, which we desperately need in Colorado’s clay soils

Amend

Pull back the top soil and add a half inch to two inches of compost, cover with soil or mulch (we like green mulches!)

Water

Water in your compost to your lawn, garden or house plant and over time nutrients will travel to the roots

Grow

Watch your garden grow with an all natural, long term fertilizer that releases food over time and helps retain water!
