Benefits of Compost

Stabilized organic matter - will not degrade readily when added to soil

Provides more organic matter than cover crops

Allows for faster plant growth and extensive rooting

Helps in reducing soil compaction in heavy soils

Retains moisture in soils and increases oxygen exchange

Can fix poor soil nutritionally, physically, and biologically

Can increase crop yield

TURNING COMPOST

Chamness uses compost windrow turners to produce compost on a large scale. As our compost turners move through the windrow, fresh oxygen is brought into the compost by the process of turning. The oxygen feeds the aerobic bacteria and thus speeds the composting process.

Chamness Organics Recycling and Composting
