Do not plant directly into compost. Compost should be blended with soil, and or non-compost amendment such as peat moss. City of Lethbridge Coulee Compost is a Category “A” product, produced under quality control methods meeting Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) standards and guidelines.

Enriches Soil: This is a nutrient-rich organic material that improves soil structure, texture, and fertility.

Increases Water Holding Capacity: Compost amended soil has better water retention properties, reducing the need for irrigation. It helps to create a porous soil structure allowing water to penetrate deeply and be stored in the root zone. 

Potted Plants: Mix one part compost with 3-4 parts potting soil to aid in plant rooting.

Gardens: Apply 2 cm of compost over planting area and mix thoroughly into 15 to 20 cm depth once a year at planting.

Lawns: For established lawns, apply a 1-3 cm layer of compost once a year and water well. For new lawns, till 10 cm of compost into 20 cm of soil.

Trees and Shrubs: Lay 2.5 cm of compost around trees 30 cm away from the trunk past the drip line. Use a 5 cm layer for shrubs. Apply once a year.

Wear protective gloves and goggles, and wash hands well after use. If on skin, wash with water. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

If in eyes: rinse continuously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lens if present.
