At St. Louis Composting, we are Mother Nature’s helpers – transitioning yard trimmings from waste bin to garden in only six months. When carefully controlled and monitored, composting is a 100% natural process, similar to what has occurred on forest floors forever. We create and maintain composting conditions that parallel nature’s own processes by:

​

• shredding green material to increase the surface area of the matter exposed to decomposing organisms

• monitoring the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio to ensure that microorganisms have an adequate mineral “diet” on which to feed

• aerating composting material so microbes receive an ample oxygen supply, and

• tracking moisture levels to promote efficient breakdown and encourage optimum microbial activity.

​

Whether you’re looking for a truckload, a trailer bed full or just a bag or two, St. Louis Composting offers an unsurpassed selection of premium quality certified compost, soil-compost blends and a large selection of mulches.
