Customer support will arrange a delivery date by phone or email. No deliveries between November 15 and February 28.

BED CONSTRUCTION

The box holding the compost is15” deep and constructed from 1-inch thick Eastern cedar boards. With the legs, the bed stands about 30” high and can be customized to your preferred height. Our beautiful unique design was created by our master engineer (in-house), Will Schreiber. Cedar boards are rot resistant and last several times longer than pine or fir boards.Our optional chemical-free varnishing service further extends the life of your bed. We build beds in standard sizes and custom sizes. The weight of the bed on legs limits the size to 2 feet wide and 6 feet long.

HIGH-NUTRIENT BLEND COMPOST

Our nutrient dense 100% compost called Organimix is better than conventional soil for growing food. Organimix can be a soil amendment before planting a new crop since it restores the nutrients used by the previous crop. Organimix can also be a nutrient dense mulch for edible seedlings. But most importantly Organimix along with our High Nutrient Worm Castings is essential for planting seedlings (transplants) and seeds. Organimix is certified organic for food production by Organic Materials Research Institute (OMRI). Organimix includes 20% composted cow manure and 80% plant-based material. Don’t use Organimix for decorative non-food gardens since flowers, native plants, shrubs, trees don’t like the high nutrient content. See our blog post for more details.
