In their own words

Trey's lawn. The outlined area had a couple of inches of our compost and no irrigation or synthetic nitrogen; the rest had good topsoil, irrigation and fertiliser.

Same sod, laid the same day.

“The purple area was sodded with good topsoil and even had irrigation and synthetic fertilizer, 1 lb of nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft. The area where our dog is standing? Just a couple inches of Humble Acres compost. Same sod, laid the same day. No irrigation, and no synthetic fertilizer where the compost was laid. And look at the difference!”

“Our soil here is Wagram sandy loam, which is super well-drained and tough for growing sod. I also spread about a half-inch of your compost across my yard, and my water bill dropped from $500 to $100 even before we got all this rain!”

One grower, one yard, one season, on one soil type. We are quoting Trey, not promising you the same numbers.

Under the black plastic, strawberries.

McCurley Farms put our chicken manure compost under their black plastic and grew these strawberries. We wish you could smell how sweet they are.
