Composting – Making Great Soil at Home

Compost is a key ingredient in organic gardening, and The Farm at Green Village has northern New Jersey’s greatest collection of home composting products and tools - and the helpful advice you need to easily convert yard and kitchen waste into nature's own organic fertilizer. Composting is an environmentally friendly and simple way of creating nutrients and rich soil for your garden or yard. Making compost used to be time consuming and difficult, but with today's products, creating rich compost is quick and efficient.

The Farm has a large selection of composters of all types and sizes, so you can make the organic compost you need, whether you have a small container garden or large yard. We have both wire pen and slatted mesh compost bins. With our compost tumblers, a few turns a day is all it takes to have great compost. We also have combination bin-tumbler composters like the popular Compost Wizard.

Talk to us about electric chippers, shredders and other garden supplies to process yard waste into mulch and the raw ingredients for compost.

We have 100 percent natural compost starters and compost accelerators with beneficial soil microbes, fortified with nutrients and extracts that garden plants love. We even have compost and garden soil test kits so you can measure the quality of your compost.

Nutrient-rich compost soil is superior to chemically treated soils. Compost also acts as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer, and a natural pest control. And by recycling plant and vegetable material, you are not only helping your garden and yard, you are helping the planet, by reducing waste, and the costs and energy associated with hauling it away.
