STA Certified Compost

One of the easiest ways to improve soil health is to incorporate compost. Compost application on yards, gardens, or mixed with potting soil for potted plants and raised garden beds helps create the ideal growing conditions for your plants to succeed.

Glacial Ridge Compost Facility’s compost is made from collected yard trimmings, wood chips, and collected organics (food scraps and compostable items) from a multi-county regional area of west-central MN.
Learn more about available compost products below.

Note: several finished and/or blended compost options will not be made available until adequate amounts of finished compost are created.

The Glacial Ridge Compost Facility believes in creating a safe product for sale. We do this by participating in the US Composting Council Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) program. Through the STA program, we test for pathogens, heavy metals, nutrients, carbon/nitrogen ratio, organic content, pH, and compost maturity.

Landscaping Tools Available For Rent

The Glacial Ridge Compost Facility is exploring options in the near future to acquire resources, such as, compost top-spreaders, for use by professional landscapers, contractors, city/county public works and parks departments. These tools would be made available through an equipment loan agreement.

We think that having the right tool for the job will allow for easy use of compost to top-dress gardens, yards, and other areas that need a spruce up that applying a think layer of nutrient-rich compost would provide.
