REAL
Compost by Dave Parsons
I’m
committed to making real, quality compost
for the Bloomington Indiana area.
I know
that people often spend years improving
soil in their gardens and around their
flowers and shrubs. Adding good compost
is helpful because compost adds organic
matter, increases the ability of the soil
to absorb water, helps make nutrients
available to plants and increases the
activity of beneficial soil microbes.
My compost is made
from manure from local stables.

Raw Material from a Local Saddle Club
A
Windrow of Manure Working Toward Being Compost
Checking Compost Temperature in the Windrow
It is
made by piling the manure in long windrows,
letting the windrows heat up to 130+ degrees
F and turning them several times. I record the
history of each batch and get a ‘soil’
analysis of the resulting compost and give my
customers a copy with their purchase. I try
to give my customers, whether they are commercial
growers of home gardeners, the information they
need to choose the correct compost batch for
their needs and improve their gardens in the
process.
Happy Gardening.
