PLEASE CALL FOR AVAILABILITY

Blend of our USCC Certified Premium Compost and locally sourced mint hay. Mint hay is the organic matter from steaming local spearmint and peppermint plants to extract the oil (the oil is used in toothpaste!) This high-heat steam distillation extraction process sterilizes the hay, so it does not contain weed seeds or pathogens.

Description

Mint Conditioned Compost contains natural humus, which helps to break up hard clay soils, making it easier for plants to establish strong root systems. It also provides a natural source of nutrients for plants, as it is high in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This compost can also be used as a mulch top dressing around shrubs and in other garden areas, providing a protective layer that helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. 

Mint Conditioned Compost can also be used a pest-suppressing mulch around sensitive plants like roses, broccoli, and kale, as there are trace amounts of the mint oils in the finished compost. When using for pest suppression, we recommend reapplying this product every 6 months.
