Compost, Frass and Castings
Living soils are essential for supporting ecosystems, biodiversity and microbial growth in soils
What to expect from our compost and castings
Environmentally friendly
- All of our organic material is taken through the aerobic composting method
- Assisting in protecting our waterways
- Compost is a cornerstone of sustainable gardening and landscaping, promoting eco-friendly practices and biodiversity in the garden or landscape.
Environmental Stewardship
By aligning with the sustainable waste management practice of mixing green waste with brown waste you assist us in diverting organic waste from waste sites
By mixing these composting ingredients, and natural decomposition we reduce our overall environmental impact.

By having a sack of Black Au you can support your soil health in 2 ways.
Directly as a soil amendment, making your own compost tea, a fertilizer alternative, or both. Either way it supports the life in the soil and helps protect the Bay.

Composting organic waste offers significant environmental and agricultural advantages. Diverting organic waste from waste sites and reducing greenhouse emissions. The resulting compost enriches soil fertility, enhancing its structure, nutrient content, and water retention capacity, which, in turn, supports healthier plant growth and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. Furthermore, the introduction of compost into soil aids in erosion control, minimizing soil runoff and sedimentation in water bodies. This sustainable practice closes the loop on waste management, providing an eco-friendly approach to waste reduction, soil enhancement, and improved biodiversity.
Improved Soil Fertility with Compost and Castings

Compost and worm castings significantly enhance soil fertility by enriching it with vital nutrients, adjusting pH levels, and boosting organic matter content. These organic materials act as a natural buffer, balancing soil pH and providing an immediate source of nutrients to plants. Additionally, their rich microbial life and improved soil structure enhance nutrient availability, increase water retention, and reduce nutrient leaching, thus creating an ideal environment for thriving plants. Furthermore, these natural amendments can help suppress soil-borne diseases, resulting in healthier, more productive soils for sustainable gardening and agriculture.
Other Services
Environmental Literacy
Our initiative focuses on embedding environmental education into schools and academies to foster sustainability. We plan to achieve this by incorporating eco-friendly practices, engaging students in hands-on learning experiences, forming partnerships with local farms, and involving the community through awareness-raising events. Through these steps, our aim is to develop environmentally responsible citizens and create a positive impact not only within our institution but also throughout the broader community and the environment as a whole. This will be facilitated by practices such as composting and nurturing a deep respect for the environment. Join us in paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
Composting Workshops
Aerobic composting supports the need for environmental education and awareness, as it provides an accessible and tangible example of how individuals can contribute to sustainable waste management and a healthier environment.
