If you caught us at the Lansing Home & Garden Show last weekend, you've already seen our impressive new Reused and Recycled expo booth! Part of that included an expanded display for compost, and we've updated our prices as well:
Uncured compost is produced from livestock manure and bedding from MSU Farms. It is hot composted for 4-6 weeks and, although it is stable, it is not cured or screened.
Farmers typically purchase uncured compost in bulk quantities and apply it to their fields as a soil amendment and fertilizer supplement.
20 Yard lot: Dutch auction starts at $8/cu.yd.

Cured compost is the same material as our uncured compost, but it has been screened and cured for an additional 6-12 months. It has high calcium, potash, potassium and nitrogen contents.
Home lawns and gardens are ideal places to use cured compost. It can be used as a lawn topdressing, garden soil amendment, or mulch additive for potting mix.
1/2 Yard: $20
1 Yard: $30
2 Yard bag: $75

Compost pellets are made from cured compost that is screened, dried and compressed into pellets.
Easier to store and more convenient to apply in small amounts, compost pellets can be used as an occasional lawn topdressing, garden soil amendment, or mulch additive for potting mix.
7 lbs. jug: $12.50
20 lbs. bag: $20

Vermicompost is made at the MSU Student Organic Farm by feeding fruit and vegetable scraps, paper and leaves to a special variety of worms. The result contains many nutrients, minerals, microrutrients, and beneficial bacteria for healthy plants,
To help plants resist disease and increase growth, vermicompost can be used as a potting soil amendment, applied to surface soil, or extracted with water as a compost tea.
2 lbs. bag: $4
