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.

Reunity compost

Picture
Compost is a valuable soil amendment. It contains the macronutrients (N-P-K) found in fertilizers, but more importantly, it contains needed micronutrients and microbiology. Our Premium Compost plays a key role in creating healthy soil. Screened to ⅜”, it can easily be worked into existing soil or used as a top dressing. It is ideal to incorporate three weeks or more before planting, but can also be used over the course of the growing season. Food scraps and manure based compost available. Ask us which may be best for your needs.

$75/cubic yard
​$16/cubic foot bag

composted mulch

Our Premium Composted Mulch is screened from green waste and manure compost. Our Standard Composted Mulch is screened from green waste and food waste compost. Both are free from weed seeds and pathogens. Screened to 3/4" diameter.

$37/cubic yard (Standard Composted Mulch)

Worm Compost (a combination of castings and enhanced compost) is a valuable soil amendment. Worms provide beneficial bacteria and other microbes, create greater capacity for water retention and facilitate readily available nutrient uptake.

Benefits of Compost!

  • Increases organic matter in soil
  • Increases water holding capacity
  • Binds micronutrients for slow release to your plants
  • Supplies healthy microorganisms​
  • Suppresses plant pathogens
  • Improves aggregation in sandy soils
  • Improves porosity in clayey soils
  • Sequesters carbon
  • Resists erosion

*Note: because we are composting green waste and food scraps, it is inevitable that some plastic finds its way in.  While we do our best to minimize this at the source, you may find micro bits (i.e. produce stickers & straws) that make their way through a ¾” screening process.

compost calculator

Use this handy calculator to determine how much compost you should buy. 

For reference:

Lawns typically need a 1/4" to 1/2" thick layer of compost.

Vegetable and flower gardens need a 1" to 3" thick layer of compost.

Why Compost Matters?

Composting combats climate change on three critical fronts. First, by removing food waste from landfills, we reduce our trash volume by about 40% which extends landfill life and reduces heavy machinery required to handle material. Secondly, food waste in landfills is also a high producer of noxious, planet-warming methane gas. In fact, if “Foodwasteinlandfills” was a country of its own, it would be the THIRD LARGEST carbon producer, behind only the US and China. Dirty! Finally, when the finished compost is spread and seeds are planted, the ability for that area to sequester carbon from the atmosphere (where there’s too much) down into the soil (where we need it) is activated, thus offering the potential to reverse climate change.

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

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.

2. top dressing

​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. mulch

Use 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 containers

Healthy, 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.
