"What's Better than Learning from a
Tribe of Compost Experts?"

How about joining the tribe and becoming an expert yourself? Compostjunkie.com makes this easy. We give you access to the best information and advice. Then to top it off we provide you with a community of passionate people to support you in your journey.

After spending close to ten years in the professional landscape industry and three years in the wonderful world of organic agriculture, we noticed several very important things...

For instance - All healthy plants, including fruits and vegetables, start with great soil. Great soil has a broad spectrum of minerals and is full of life (i.e. soil microbes).

In order to build such great soil you're going to need a way to get this life back into your garden and that's exactly where we fit in. We'll teach you why high quality compost (HQC) naturally has high levels of soil microbes and how it can help you grow the most healthy and pest-resistant plants.

The wonderful news is that you can create HQC right in your own backyard. With the right equipment and advice from us, you'll be making this incredible homemade garden fertilizer in no time. To get started, just click on the "How To" tab in the top left portion of this page.

Homemade Bins and Tumblers

Something else we noticed while landscaping our client's yards, was that they tended to produce a lot of waste, but barely any of them were creating HQC. Instead these clients would pay us to bring in various soil amendments, like triple mix, and apply it to their gardens. Not only was this one of the least eco-friendly things to do, but more often than not, the soil amendments we were bringing in were lifeless. So we asked ourselves...

How can we get people to start composting in their backyard?

The answer was simple - Create a website that teaches people how to build their own backyard bins and tumblers and then show them how to use them. That is why you'll see sections labeled "bins" and "tumblers". When you click on these tabs, you'll have access to bin and tumbler blueprints as well as links to companies who sell these products.

Where Can I Buy this Miracle Garden Fertilizer?

This was yet another question that clients often asked us. The sad thing was that we couldn't always answer them. Unfortunately, not all compost is created equal. Oftentimes, you must know the producer on a more personal level to ensure such quality. Before buying a product, you'll want to be sure you know...

• What materials went into the original pile?
• Were any of these materials toxic/dangerous?
• Did the pile go anaerobic?
• Was the pile allowed to cure?
• Does the finished product smell right

Don't worry if any of this sounds intimidating. We promise to teach you exactly what you need to look for and ask when selecting a supplier.

If that all seems like too much work, you can just write us and we'll search our supplier database for a reputable supplier nearest you. For more information on suppliers and where to buy HQC, click on the tab labeled "Buy Compost."

Now, before we get started...
