Compost delivery

Mason Bueman
On the farm we have recently received some new stuff, smelly stuff according to the swim coach; We have received new compost. Compost is crucial on our organic farm. The compost has also come in good timing with the start of our class beds. Compost is crucial for our farm because it enriches soil, helps retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests. Encourages the production of beneficial bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter to create humus, a rich nutrient-filled material. Reduces methane emissions from landfills and lowers our carbon footprint. We also make our own compost on the farm however we don't have enough to fulfill the needs of our farm so we need to buy some now and then.
