Our Compost Calculator will help you determine how much compost to order and roughly how much the order will cost.

Please follow our Four steps to a better garden!

Step One, determining your soil type:
Sandy soil, (soil crumbles easily in your hand and drains well).
Clay soil, (soil is clumpy and drains poorly).
Loamy soil, (soil is inbetween a sandy and clay type).
I don't know what my soil is but I think it is pretty high in organic matter..
I don't know what my soil is and whatever it is, it needs some organic matter, increased loft and TLC!

As you can see, this process is not going to be rocket science! Compost is good for any kind of soil. "Bad" soil should get 3 or more inches every spring or fall and good soil should get 1 inch on the same schedule.

Step Two, garden size, (in feet).
What is the width of your garden: Feet
What is the length of your garden: Feet

Is your garden round, elliptical or otherwise not very easy to measure in terms of width & length? Make an educated guess or invite the highschool math club over and have them calculate the square footage and then translate it into a suitable length and width number.

Step Three, what will you do with the compost?
Rototill the compost deeply into the soil to a depth of 8"
Rototill the compost into the soil to a depth of 4"
Plow the compost into the soil to a depth of 12"
Mulch the top of the garden with compost

We also sell a blend of our compost mixed with fine ground bark mulch for $37 per yard plus tax.

Step Five, Hit the submit button and the calculator will produce an estimate of how much compost you'll need and what it will cost. No order is placed when you use the calculator so don't be bashful. Try it out with your existing garden's specification or even try it on the specifications of your favorite future garden project.
