Luxury Landscape Supply explains that there are different types of compost because they serve different needs. In other words, one type of compost may be better for a portion of your yard than another type of compost. We are going to talk about the different compost types below so you understand the difference between them and know what to buy. No matter what, we have compost in stock ready to help you turn your exterior space into the most beautiful yard on the block.
Plain Compost
Plain or straight compost is the compost you make yourself by brewing compostable materials in a pile in your yard. These materials biodegrade, which means they break down and turn into fertilizer. It’s important to understand how to take care of a compost pile for the best results. The pile can only accept certain types of materials, needs to be stirred frequently, and needs the correct amount of water. If your compost pile is a success, it will be an excellent fertilizer for your fruits and vegetables.
Farming Manure
You probably don’t need us to explain to you what farming manure is. This maneuver is the animal waste gathered and bagged at farms. It can be chicken waste, pig waste, or cow waste among other farmyard animals. Farming manure is too strong for small plants but works well for your larger exterior foliage. The nice thing about farming maneuver is it is long-lasting, as well.
Green Manure
If you know anything about farming, you know that farmers plant crops and then let them die so they turn into manure. The best crops to turn into the soil and use as manure are crops of legumes and greens. Naturally, green manure is best for farming purposes. Planting the crop and then using it as manure ensures you will have a healthy prop of rice, wheat, or corn next. About the only thing you might grow in your yard is corn, and you can use green manure for this.
Vermicompost (Worms)
Yep! Vermicompost is worms. Earthworms to be exact. If you have a healthy garden, you will see worms crawling through the soil. They help your plants by aerating the soil and encouraging it to retain the water that you use when you water it. Your entire garden, including the fruits and vegetables, will benefit from the earthworms found in vermicompost.
