Reunity Soil Yard:
Compost, Mulch, Garden Soil, Biochar, and More...
Reunity Resources diverts thousands of cubic yards of food scraps from the landfill where they would create toxic methane. Instead, we are using this organic material to create a rich, fertile soil amendment that retains moisture and nurtures area farms and gardens while sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, returning it to the soil where it is helpful. Healthy soil is key to a healthy planet and a healthy human race.

Benefits of Compost!

Using compost
Compost can be used in multiple ways to provide optimal health and resilience to your plants. Using compost increases soil organic matter, adds mineral content, improves soil structure and porosity, and increases drought resilience of plants.
1. Soil amendment |
2. Top dressing |
Spring or fall, pre-planting or post harvest, amend your existing ‘soil’ to 50-70% compost. (This is the recommendation for NM, where sand/clay is the prevalent soil. In an area of richer natural soil like the Midwest, a lower percentage may be recommended.) Add 4-6 inches of compost on top before tilling, and then add another layer, again, on top to create rows and furrows for a traditional rowed field.
Greatest benefit achieved with application three weeks or more prior to seeding or planting. Great benefit can still be derived with application over the growing season. |
For a lawn, pasture or cover cropped field, top dressing is the most efficient application. Just as it sounds, you spread the compost on top of the existing grasses, etc. For effective top dressing, your finished compost should be screened to particle sizes of 3/8-inch or less, free from weed seeds, spread when grasses are actively growing, and the layer of compost about ½ inch thick. If you do core aeration of your lawn, spreading afterward is recommended. Water well upon application and watch your plants plump up!
|
3. MulchUse as a beautiful mulch, 2-6 inches deep. This stops weeds, saves water and nourishes your plants gradually with each rain or watering. Over time, the compost will work its way in and improve soil structure and health without any heavy turning or tilling. Deep mulching with compost is optimal for home gardeners, as well as no-till farmers.
|
4. In containersHealthy, living compost is the main ingredient in potting soil blends. For DIYers, a standard recipe for homemade potting mix is: 2 parts compost, 1 part ‘fluff’ to lighten the mix for additional porosity (we recommend something renewable/sustainable such as coconut coir, rather than peat moss from endangered bogs) and 1 part ‘chunks’ to increase drainage required by container gardening, such as pumice, perlite or sifted sand/gravel.
