Terra Zest Premium Organic and All Natural Compost - Wild Valley Farms Product Highlight

By Cindy Cloninger

Premium all natural and organic compost is an essential part to creating a great garden. Learn all about Wild Valley Farms, Terra Zest in this article.

Since the creation of the earth, decomposition has been in play. Rock, trees, leaves, grasses, foods, and all types of organic matter have been broken down over time to create the soils that surround us.

Because the minerals, bedrock, climate, moisture, and plants vary depending on geographical location, soil content and make up varies too.

Ideally, you want to create a soil that helps retain moisture and has adequate aeration. Ideal soil is dark and has the full range of organic nutrients that release slowly over time. Soil like this allows for deep root growth and ideal environment for your plants.

If your soil doesn’t look like this, or you are combatting hard and compacted soil. ​
​

Terra Zest is the solution you have been looking for.

Terra Zest compost blend is the solution for softening your soil.

What is Terra Zest?

Our premium organic and all natural Terra Zest is a special blend of manure, sawdust, and hygroscopic fiber (wool).  
​

There are two main components that make up any compost. 'Greens', or table scraps and yard waste, and 'Browns', or manures.
​

The main difference in any compost is feedstock or the materials that you start with.  You need "Greens" and "Browns" or Nitrogen and Carbon. There are many different sources of "Greens" or Nitrogen and using the best sources yield the best results.

The quality of materials used are a key component in the making of a great compost.

We combine these products carefully to ensure your plants, lawn, trees or garden vegetables can get the full nutritional value needed for root development.
​
Because our Terra Zest compost blend is ‘cooked’, and not just made with the right ingredients, otherwise harmful components have been eliminated.

This compost blend has a  40:1 ratio of Carbon to Nitrogen, 50% moisture, maintains a temperature of 160 degrees for three weeks - cooking out seeds and pathogens. Terra Zest compost blend  is guaranteed 99.5% seed free.

​Our compost is on site for over 8 months being turned and screened to make a perfect product full of humus, ready for gardens.

Terra Zest is screened to remove and debris, then carefully tested to make a uniform product.

Terra Zest will help your soil retain moisture and works as a slow release fertilizer that lasts all year long, (unlike chemical fertilizers that only last for a few weeks), and it won’t burn your lawn or plants. This premium compost blend is safe for use around children or pets immediately after use.

Wild Valley Farms is committed to delivering all natural, organic, and safe products to our customers. Special care is taken in every stage of development to ensure you receive a nutrient dense, long lasting, and uniform compost soil.  

We also make a special Golf Course blend that helps green up grasses faster and helps keep high traffic areas softer.
