Why do we make this product?
Several years ago we were contracted by a developer to design and construct a Green Infrastructure project that required a bio-retention parking lot. We needed a planting and infiltration media that was going to provide all the necessary attributes then and over time as the site matured. We could not find any Western NY location that had this product. Sure, it seemed that all kinds of nurseries and private companies were making and selling what they called “compost”. We decided to make it ourselves from that day forward. After 7 years of intense research, travel to other sites and projects, attending conferences, webinars, phone consultations with Microbiologists, Botanists and Agronomists, at least 100+ reports, books, publication papers, etc.... we developed a process and a recipe that has been highly successful since – and still getting better each season. Green Infrastructure, Storm Water Runoff Management, Brownfield’s remediation, Habitat Conservation and Restoration, Rain Gardens, Urban Farming, etc... are all gaining momentum in WNY. Our products meet these needs down to the microbiological levels. A Bioretention or Biofiltration facility, Rain Garden, soil remediation site, etc... should get better with age if designed and engineered properly. This cannot be possible without quality compost that meets these needs. |
