This product contains no weeds. None whatsoever. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch.
Living Earth’s Puketutu Gold is so named, because it’s derived from our older piles of compost and various mixes that have been left to age gracefully. A heavy soil-like aged compost that has good nutrient levels and is proving a real find in the quest by landscapers to purchase a growing media that resembles topsoil with good nutrient qualities.

Thanks to the activity of all the worker bugs breaking down the material in the composting process, the temperature quickly reaches above 55 degrees. After three days at this heat all weed seeds are killed.
Yes, there is. Living Earth Compost conforms to NZ standard 4454:2005, a standard that provides assurance that all composted matter is safe to use for the home gardener. The standard sets a quality level that Living Earth exceeds in the compost it produces.
We test every batch of compost at our on-site lab and with growth trials to ensure quality standards are met with the plants growing healthily. Other independent lab tests are performed to check levels of nutrients and to ensure the compost meets NZ standards.
