Ideal Compost Co. provides compost and related products to home gardeners, organic farmers, landscapers and greenhouse operators in New Hampshire and surrounding states.

To make our compost, we start out with piles and piles of horse litter, cow and chicken manure, spoiled grain, grass, hay, straw, silage and leaves. Our job as composters is to provide optimal conditions for the micro-organisms which break down the blend of materials. After all, they do most of the work! The little critters need food, air, and moisture. Their food is in the original materials. When we turn the piles we provide air. Irrigation provides moisture when rain is sparse. We monitor progress with thermometers and moisture meters.After months and months of the slow burning of decay, each compost batch is tested for maturity. When ready, the compost is screened, blended into a range of products, and stacked up, ready for you.

Meanwhile, our web presence gets refined a bit at a time. This season, look for our online newsletters. One subject on tap is growing especially nutrient-dense crops, using a "biological farming" approach, which some consider the next step beyond organics. Stay tuned!

Happy growing in 2012!
