The Organic Process

Enlarge this photoThe secret to making GREAT compost involves the right recipe, proper aeration, and detailed moisture management. At Full Circle Compost, we consider composting a process. The end result of this process is HUMUS. We view composting as a way of farming microbes and we seek to nurture and expand their populations in our humus. It is this microbial workforce contained within our SOIL ESSENCE HUMUS that makes it so effective. Remember, organic matter is NOT plant food! Organic matter becomes plant food only AFTER it goes through the stomach of a microbe!

At Full Circle Compost, we pride ourselves on being the first permitted organic materials recycling facility in the State of Nevada, processing nearly 2000 tons of material annually.
