The following is provided for your information.

This product meets all State and Federal requirements for “Class A” compost or “EQ” which stands for exceptional quality.

Utah soil typically ranges from one percent to two percent (1% - 2%) of organic material. For comparison, good Midwestern topsoil averages about five percent to seven percent (5% - 7%) organic matter.

Compost applied to gardens and lawns can:

• Increase the moisture holding capacity of the soil.
• Increase the microbial life in the soil, resulting in faster breakdown of organic matter which makes more nutrients available to plant life.
• Introduce plant-disease fighting organisms into the soil.

Compost derived from BRIGHAM CITY has minerals and trace elements which are necessary for plant growth that are rarely found in other compost products, fertilizers and other soil amendments (peat moss, sand, vermiculite, etc.).

BRIGHAM CITY compost is a high quality product used as a soil amendment or top dressing. The compost is produced by recovering green waste from landfills and biosolids from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The composting process promotes high bacterial activity which breaks down and stabilizes the organic materials in the green waste and biosolid mixture. The biological activity produces heat, which causes the compost piles to reach temperatures in excess of 131 degree Fahrenheit (55 degree Centigrade), temperatures must stay at 131 degree Fahrenheit or higher for a minimum of 15 days. These high temperatures destroy any disease-causing organisms that may have been present. This results in a safe, high quality product ideal for lawn, garden and landscape use.

The compost mixture is tested for chemical and bacterial properties and the results of these tests must be reported annually to the Utah State Department of Environmental Quality and the United States Environmental Protection Agency to maintain the title of “Class A” or “Exceptional Quality” compost.

In general, BRIGHAM CITY compost is recommended for the following uses:

• TURF GRASSES, ORNAMENTAL AND VEGETABLE GARDENS - Most Utah soils can be amended with BRIGHAM CITY compost by applying 3 cubic yards of compost per 1000 square feet of planting area. This is equivalent to a layer of compost two inches deep applied onto the planting area. The compost should be thoroughly incorporated only into the top 4-6 inches of the soil in order to create a uniform planting bed and to insure aerobic conditions.
• SHRUBBERY AND TREE PLANTING - Compost can be mixed with existing soil at up to 1:3 by volume; no more than 30 percent organic amendment to be used as backfill for shrub and tree planting.
• LAWNS: MAINTENANCE - As a top dressing, after aerating, compost should be spread uniformly to a depth of 1/4 inch on an established lawn or ornamental planting bed and raked in. Spring and fall applications are recommended for cool season grasses.
• LAWNS - Top Dressing after Seeding - Compost should be spread in a uniform cover 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick over newly seeded areas.
