Dirt Rich uses a thermal composting process along with carefully turning and management to ensure our piles reaching 130+ degrees fahrenheit for over 48 hours. This ensures NO unwanted pathogens or seeds survive the composting process.
Compost is not soil and it is not dirt! It’s a holistic soil amendment made of decomposed organic matter that provides your soil with a dose of plant available nutrients and the microscopic biota necessary to continue unlocking nutrients long after it’s been applied. It’s a long term solution to soil infertility, and pest and weed management when utilized with appropriate soil stewardship methods.
Our compost product sells for $75 per cubic yard. We load trucks and trailers in bulk at our site location. Book an appointment time online, message us on Facebook or call to make an appointment for a pick up time. Our sales begin in the mid March.
We are still selling our fine sift bagged product out of Hoopers Nursery, Box of Rain, Columbia Falls Nursery, Whitefish WBC, Third Street Market and the Native Plant Nursery or us directly at $12.50 per .75 cu ft. bag! Bagged in compostable material. No plastic in our distribution!
We offer delivery of up to 5.5 cubic yards at a time and charge $65 per hour for delivery, timed from departure from the site to return. There’s no charge included for loading time.
We aren’t currently certified organic, but we follow the same guidelines that are required of business selling organic compost with one exception. We accept compostable plastics. We feel we have a duty to service our community by providing this option to compost these material rather than landfill them. Compostable plastics has synthetic binders in them, which is why if used in compost product production, it cannot be certified organic by state standards. Our mix is comprised of food waste, wood chips, leaves, spray free hay, garden cutback and 10% or less select horse manures. We turn our piles five times to ensure a healthy and synthetics free product. We test our product annually to check for any herbicide contamination.
