Our composting system requires a lot from the barn, but it's so worth it! This innovative system allows us to turn organic waste into valuable compost, creating a closed-loop system that benefits our facility and the environment. By recycling these natural materials, we not only reduce waste but create a product that empowers others to transform their soil.

Here's some interesting compost facts for your Friday!

The addition of compost may provide greater drought resistance and more efficient water utilization.

The microbes found in compost can degrade some toxic organic compounds.

Horse manure compost is rich in nitrogen, which promotes healthy plant growth when used as a soil amendment.

It generates heat during the composting process, which helps kill w**d seeds and harmful pathogens, making it safe for garden use.

Well-composted horse manure improves soil structure by increasing its ability to retain water and nutrients, benefiting plants in the long term.
