PREMIUM ORGANIC COMPOST FOR SALE IN BRISBANE AND ACROSS SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND

Compost is a mixture of recycled organic materials that have been processed by natural organisms, breaking down the original materials into a usable form.

Compost has many benefits for soil. It can;

• Feed plants 
• Stimulate beneficial microbes 
• Improve soil structure and help the soil retain nutrients, water, and warmth. 

However, compost is also a potential source of microbial, chemical, and physical contamination. Human pathogens in manure, heavy metals in sewage sludge and plastics left in green waste bins all have the potential to contaminate growing sites and fresh produce. Growers may therefore be reluctant to use compost, despite its potential benefits, because of concerns about how it could affect the safety of the food they grow.

Carbon Plus Compost understands the concerns of growers and producers, and we have gone to extreme lengths to safeguard the quality of our agricultural grade compost. Here’s how;

• To ensure a clean recycled input, we do not include council green waste. All green waste is strictly self-haul - received, ground, and managed onsite. This way, contamination is identified and removed well before it is added to the composting process.
• Carbon Plus Compost does not accept any sewage or human waste by products.
• Carbon Plus Compos regular conducts full testing suites on product to ensure current processes are effective and contamination free.

Our Agricultural Compost is AS4454 certified, and we are Freshcare recognised supplier.

Growers and farmers utilising our premium compost, are in some applications, achieving up to a 25% increase in yield, post application. Every step of the Carbon Plus Compost is rigorously inspected and managed to ensure a top tier, nutrient dense compost.

That’s the Carbon Plus Compost difference.

Nitrogen drawdown occurs when nitrogen becomes unavailable to plants due to high levels of non-composted carbon materials present in the soil, such as sawdust or wood chips. With Carbon Plus premium compost, our mulch has been through a full composting cycle that ensures there will be no nitrogen drawdown, with the product lasting up to 3 years.

This meticulous composting process means that when you apply Carbon Plus compost and mulch to your plants, you are getting the most efficient uptake of high-quality nutrients. No matter where you are in Queensland or Northern New South Wales, you know you’re getting a fully matured, high-grade compost product for your plants.

Nitrogen drawdown is a phenomenon that occurs when nitrogen in the soil becomes temporarily unavailable to plants. This typically happens when there is a high level of raw carbon, such as from freshly added organic matter like straw, wood chips, or other plant residues, in the soil. Microorganisms in the soil use nitrogen as they break down this carbon-rich material.

As these microorganisms consume the nitrogen for their metabolic processes, the amount of nitrogen available to plants decreases, leading to a deficiency. This nitrogen "drawdown" can limit plant growth until the organic material is sufficiently decomposed, and the nitrogen becomes available again.

In essence, nitrogen drawdown is a temporary imbalance in the soil's nutrient availability caused by the decomposition of high-carbon organic matter.
