THE KEY TO HIGHER YIELDS AND BETTER CROP QUALITY IS HEALTHY SOIL.
Intensive cropping eventually depletes the levels of organic matter in soil. As a result, soil structure deteriorates, it erodes more easily, and crops struggle.
THE KEY TO HEALTHY SOIL IS LIVING EARTH COMPOST
Good soil structure reduces preparation costs, since more friable soils are easier to cultivate. Root penetration is also easier, and plant water stress is reduced.
Our composts are stabilised and matured over 12-16 weeks. During this time, we constantly monitor the process and maintain the temperature over 55 degrees, ensuring complete pathogen kill including weeds.
Living Earth Compost
Produced from a blend of greenwaste (Auckland) and a blend of greenwaste and kitchen waste (Christchurch) composted at high temperatures.
100% weed-free.
MORE FRIABLE SOILS
The organic matter provided by Living Earth Compost improves soil structure and reduces soil compaction.
REDUCED IRRIGATION
The water holding capacity of the soil is greatly improved.
INCREASED NUTRIENT RETENTION
Reduced leaching of nutrients such as nitrogen, magnesium and potassium.
RESTORED MICROBIAL BALANCE
It greatly increases the population of worms, and with its stable carbon content encourages the growth of beneficial disease-combating organisms, reducing plant pathogens and the amount of sprays needed.
COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Quick and easy to apply, Living Earth Compost also reduces fertiliser requirements by providing plants with Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphur and trace elements (Iron, Zinc, Copper,
