Z

What is organic?

It depends, organic can simply mean that it is a carbon based material, or that it was once alive. Box stores will call their soil organic, and may even be certified organic, but it is mostly made with peat. Certified organic means the product is approved by an organic certification body and meets criteria from where the material came from. It does not mean it is great soil.

Z

Does your compost contain plastic?

The SSO compost does contain small amounts of film plastic. The vast majority is removed by our machinery and pickers. What is remains is less than 0.1% by weight. Our compost meets the stringent CCME compost quality standards.
