The compost is monitored and temperatures are taken regularly.

The temperatures are high enough and the material is kept in place for durations of time to kill pathogens.

The end result is a beautiful compost product!

It is used for gardens, lawns, repairs, erosion control, and landfill and stormwater management.

It is also an excellent top dressing/fertilizer for athletic fields and larger lawns.

We use our compost for our gardens at WSWMD.
