ORDERING GUIDE - Call to Order 603.924.5050

Rule of thumb on how much compost to apply to your garden:

1" tilled in to maintain fertility from year to year. This assumes soil which produced a good crop the previous year.

2" tilled in to revitalize a poor garden. For when last year's garden soil lacked "kick".

3" tilled in when you are starting with very depleted soil.

How to figure the volume of compost to order for your garden:

If your garden has an area of: (square feet)	...then order this many cubic yards to till in for the following depths:
	1 inch	2 inches	3 inches
100	0.3	0.6	0.9
200	0.6	1.2	1.8
300	0.9	1.8	2.7
500	1.5	3.0	4.5
1000	3.0	6.0	9.0

Soil testing is available:

We can send off a sample of your soil to A&L Labs or UNH Cooperative Extension for traditional nutrient analysis.
OR, we can provide you with a Solvita Garden Care test, which measures microbial life in the sample, then tells you
how much compost is needed to make your soil fully productive. The Garden Care Test is from Woods End Lab in
Maine, a world-class resource for know-how on compost use.
