WE STARTED DIRT HUGGER to create an organic compost, unlike anything currently available. We wanted to source feedstocks that would create a biologically diverse and mature finished product. We are fortunate to live among orchards, vineyards, and breweries where we can source whole fruit, grape pumice, and beer yeast for feedstocks and then reapply compost back into those same farms. The full cycle helps create increased quality, accountability, and community.
ORGANIC COMPOST
PROJECT - best for mixing with and amending your existing garden beds
Dirt Hugger compost is a dark, rich, Organic Compost made from local whole fruit, wood, brush, spent brewery yeast, and food scraps. We screen compost to less than 3/8” size, and it is perfect for amending the sandy loam or clay soils in the Pacific Northwest. We recommend applying Dirt Hugger compost in a 2-3″ topdress and working it 6-8” deep into existing soil. Compost can provide organic content and nutrients, and your local soil will provide the mineral content creating a balanced environment for plant growth.
Compost also aids in water retention, pH buffering, and stimulation of microbiology.
