Why Use Compost

Compost is crucial to any gardening or landscaping endeavor. Central Oregon soils are naturally poor in quality and lack organic matter, which can be the source of many plant problems. Soils amended with SoilBuilder® and BioFine® compost will provide the benefits of water retention and nutrients, requiring less watering and fertilizing. Your soil will be easier to work with and plant in. Plants will grow larger and faster and be more resistant to disease. Healthy soils make healthy plants!

Deschutes Recycling stands behind the quality of its SoilBuilder® and BioFine® compost products with a rigorous quality assurance and testing program. Samples of our compost are sent every 3 months to the soiltest lab in Washington for independent testing under the US Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Approval program, which sets national standards in the composting industry.
