Why It Costs More
While our compost may cost more than general compost, there’s a good reason: it’s designed as a powerful soil inoculum and soil improver. Incredibly rich and teeming with life, you’ll need far less to transform your soil and see incredible results. Think of it as concentrated goodness for your garden, making every handful count.
How Best to Use Our Compost
To get the most out of our living compost, here are some suggestions:
As a Soil Inoculum
Spread a thin layer (around 1-2cm) across your garden beds or mix lightly into the topsoil. This allows the beneficial microorganisms to integrate into your soil and improve its health over time.
When Planting
Add a small handful to planting holes for vegetables, flowers, or trees. This will give your plants a nutrient boost and improve their root development.
For Top-Dressing
Apply a thin layer around the base of established plants, shrubs, or trees. Water it in well to encourage the microbes to penetrate the soil.
In Compost Teas
Use our compost to make a nutrient-packed compost tea. This liquid feed is perfect for boosting soil life and supporting plant growth during the growing season.
To Improve Depleted Soil
If you’re working with tired or degraded soil, use our compost as an amendment by mixing it into the top 10-15cm of soil. This will help restore structure, fertility, and life.
By using it thoughtfully, you’ll see the powerful impact of our compost without needing to use it in large quantities.
Please note: We can only deliver our living compost to locations in Frome and the surrounding area. Anywhere outside of this will need to be via arranged pick up.
