Intervale/Green Mountain Complete Compost is a very mature, fully composted, and odor free compost. It is an all natural product made form a diverse blend of:

• Yard Trimmings – Leaves and grass clippings from local residents and landscapers
• Food Scraps – From restaurants, supermarkets, cafeterias and food manufacturers
• Nutrient-Rich Horse, Cow and Chicken Manure – from local farmers and stables
• Compost is screened to 3/8” or 1/2"
• No sewage sludge or chemicals are added
• Green Mountain Compost is approved for use on organic farms

Once blended, the compost is kept under aerobic conditions where a large diversity of microbial life go to work converting waste into the rich, dark compost we know and love.

What is the pH of Intervale Compost products?

The pH of Green Mountain Compost is typically above neutral or slightly alkaline. For planting or amending soils around blueberries, azaleas, rhododendrons, and other acid-loving plants, we recommend adjusting the pH of the soil over time by adding elemental sulfur or peat moss or by mulching with pine needles or pine bark mulch.

Annual soil tests are the best way to tell what your lawn or garden needs for whatever it is you’re trying to grow. Contact your local agricultural college or extension service for a soil test sample kit and more information.
What’s this white fungus-like stuff growing in my compost?

Intervale Compost/Green mountain Compost Products and soil mixes are not sterilized. These compost and compost-based mixes are full of beneficial microorganisms that play a key part in helping your plants grow. Given the right conditions, you may see white mycelium from beneficial fungi interacting with other components of the soil. This is normal and is not harmful to your plants.
