Improve your soil with Valley’s Best Compost®
“Compost! Feed the Soil that Feeds Us” is the theme for International Compost Awareness Week (May 3-9) this year and we understand the vital role compost plays in sustaining life locally and globally. That is why we craft a variety of premium composted products to support local agriculture, jurisdictions, landscapers, businesses, and home gardeners.
Now is the perfect time to add some compost to your vegetable and flower gardens to give your plants the ultimate start or boost for the Spring and Summer growing seasons.
Valley’s Best Compost® will provide your garden with some great nutrients that you can only get from composted “cow manure”. It also improves your soil’s ability to hold moisture which is critical in California during the warmer, drier months. Compost can hold four times its weight in water! Or more!
Valley’s Best is thoroughly composted and processed to reduce pathogens and destroy weed seeds in compliance with California state regulations. And… Valley’s Best is also the only OMRI certified, locally produced manure-based compost available in the San Diego area. This tried-and-true soil amendment is a favorite among local organic gardeners. Check it out!
