About Compost

Compost is rich, dark brown material made from fully decomposed plant matter including leaves, grass clippings, and organic waste. This finished product improves soil structure, increases nutrient availability, and enhances water retention in gardens and landscape beds. Quality compost is safe for all plants including vegetables, suitable for raised beds and containers, and works well mixed with existing soil. One cubic yard of compost weighs approximately 1,000 pounds and covers roughly 100 square feet at a standard 3-inch application depth. The material is ready to use immediately upon delivery with no additional processing or curing time required. Compost performs best when worked into the top 6-8 inches of soil, though it also works well as a top dressing. In Parma's climate, spring and fall are ideal application seasons, but you can apply compost anytime the ground is workable and not frozen.
