🌱 Living Soil Compost Now Available – From Bathurst

Many gardens along our coast struggle with sandy soil that dries quickly and holds very little nutrition.

At The Pollen Basket (Bathurst) we produce Living Soil compost designed to help rebuild soil structure and restore the microbial life that plants depend on.

Our compost is produced using:

• Forced-air composting (ASP system)
• Thermophilic sanitation to eliminate pathogens and w**d seeds
• Biochar integration to improve water and nutrient retention
• Extended curing so the compost is stable and biologically active

The result is a microbially rich Living Soil compost that helps sandy soils hold moisture, cycle nutrients and support healthier plant growth.
