Compost Benefits
Bailey Compost contains a full spectrum of essential plant nutrients as well as macro and micronutrients often absent in synthetic fertilizers. These natural nutrients are released slowly.
Compost helps sandy soil retain water and nutrients. Compost loosens tightly bound particles in clay soil so roots can spread, water can drain, and air can penetrate.
This is what happens when you scatter wildflower seed in your old compost pile!
Bailey Compost greatly increases soil fertility
Bailey Compost will improve your soil
Bailey Compost greatly increases soil fertility resulting in noticeable plant growth and robust health. Compost also feeds diverse life in the soil. These beneficial bacteria, fungi, insects, and worms also support healthy plant growth.
Besides making your soil naturally healthier, adding organic material to the soil increases the soil’s water holding capacity and makes any soil easier to work with. Even weeding is easier in a well composted garden!
The Bailey family has been farming in the Snohomish River Valley since 1913.
