Compost is made by decomposing organic materials into simpler organic and inorganic compounds in a process called composting.

This process recycles various organic materials otherwise regarded as waste products. Good compost is rich in plant nutrients and beneficial organisms.


Compost is used to improve soil fertility in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, urban agriculture, and organic farming. The benefits of compost include providing nutrients as fertilizer to the crop, acting as a soil conditioner, increasing the humus or humic acids content of the soil, and introducing beneficial colonies of microbes in the soil. 


The natural interaction of the soil, plant roots and nutrient/microorganisms of compost improves the soil structure. An improved soil structure will increase the soil water retention ability and control soil erosion. 

Gather a mix of green and brown materials.

Greens are materials rich in nitrogen, such as leaves and grass. Browns are more woody materials rich in carbon, like tree stalks and wood chips. 


The materials are wetted to break them down into humus, a process that occurs over a period of months. Composting can also take place as a multi-step, closely monitored process with measured inputs of water, air, and carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials. 


The decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter, adding water, and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture when open piles or "windrows" are used. Aerobic bacteria and fungi manage the chemical process by converting the inputs into heat, carbon dioxide, and ammonium.

Composting organisms require four equally important ingredients to work effectively.

Carbon for energy. The microbial oxidation of carbon produces the heat when included at suggested levels. 



  1. Nitrogen to grow and reproduce more organisms to oxidize the carbon. High nitrogen materials tend to be green (leaves, green palm branches) and wet.
  2. Oxygen for oxidizing the carbon and producing the decomposition process.
  3. Water in the right amounts to maintain activity without causing anaerobic conditions.


Benefits of Composting

Compost provides carbon sequestration

Compost enhances water retention in soils

Supplies organic matter and aids the proliferation of soil microbes

Supplies beneficial microorganisms

to soils and growing media

Approved for summertime application

*Lee County Fertilizer Ordinance prohibits the application of fertilizers during the months of June through September

For soil amendment, apply 3-4” deep and till to a depth of 6-8”


As a mulch, apply 3”-4” deep and

 1”-2” for coloring established beds

Improves the moisture-holding capacity of light soils - reduces water loss and nutrient leaching, and improves moisture retention

Mature compost is created using high temperatures to destroy pathogens and weed seeds that natural decomposition does not destroy

Compost is made from yard debris and garden matter

 Compost reduces and in some cases eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers

Compost promotes higher yields of agricultural crops

Organic yard debris - 100% of the material will pass through a 1/2” screen

Combine organic wastes, plant debris, and yard trimmings in the right ratios into windrows

Add bulking agents, such as wood chips, as necessary to accelerate the breakdown of organic materials

Allow the finished material to fully stabilize and mature through a curing process

Improves soil structure and porosity - creates a better plant root environment
