Benefits of City of Edmonton Compost Products

Safe for your soil. Our compost products are tested for herbicide residue and have a neutral pH level, which makes them safe to add to your soil.

Improves organic matter. It increases microbial activity, soil porosity and soil moisture retention. It’s also an excellent amendment for both sand-based and clay-based soils.

Rich in supplements. It is a good source of nitrogen and other valuable supplements. Its slow-release characteristics mean long-lasting improvements to your soil, turf, lawn, flowerbeds and gardens.

Weed free. The temperature reached during the City’s composting process eliminates weeds and pathogens in the raw material. This also produces a pleasant ‘earthy’ smell.

Low moisture. On average, our compost contains less than 40% moisture. This means more supplements per tonne and a product that is light and easy to work with.
