Organimix Compost

Organimix brand compost can be used as a soil amendment, lawn dressing, potting soil component or mulching. Organimix is made from organic materials including leaves, grass, woodchips and cow manure.

Organimix is odor-free and stores well. Organimix has been screened to a fine texture making application easy. We recommend applying a two inch layer of Organimix to the top of the soil and to mix the product into the soil thoroughly. The primary benefits of using Organimix are:

Progressively healthier soil

Organimix is a natural, organic substitute
