2023 Spring Finished Compost Gift-Back
We’re offering free finished compost as a gift to our loyal customers!
Collective Resource Compost customers can claim up to 10 gallons of finished compost as our gift to you. You can also purchase additional compost for $5/5 gallons (cash or check only).
We’re able to do this, with the help of The Talking Farm, who is graciously hosting our gift-back event at their Howard Street Farm. The finished compost has been processed by Green Soils Management, an EPA-permitted processor located in East Dundee. This compost, packed with microorganisms and fungi, is ready for any type of crop, your victory garden, or soil rehabilitation project! Mix it with 30–50% of another soil blend or apply 1–2 inches on top of the existing soil.
