At Chaos Springs, we live and breathe composting and soil fertility. Our compost and soil products and workshops are designed to help you enhance your soil's performance, and bring maximum health benefits to plants, soil and people.
Composting and soil fertility workshops and products
We believe that most soil fertility can be managed within the farm boundary. However this takes a dedicated effort and understanding of your soil and growing environment. Our composting and soil fertility workshops can help you develop those skills and understandings.
We also make and sell our own organic compost, and we sell a small range of composting equipment to help you create your own high performing organic compost and enhance your soil's performance. Check out these links for more information:
Chaos Springs Organic Compost
Our organic compost is made from a wide range of organic materials and naturally processed to create the highest possible micro-organism numbers. Regularly verified by Soil Foodweb labs, we believe we offer the finest compost in New Zealand. We supply compost to farmers and growers from Dargaville to Dunedin. The exceptional results are well known. We no longer certify our compost as organic but it can easily be approved for use on organic properties as we follow and document our process.
Our compost is a result of 30 years as commercial growers and compost makers. Unlike many industrial composting operations we are not waste managers. We specifically combine the best possible materials for maximum biological benefit to the soil and plant.
But that is only the beginning - the process we use is just as important as the ingredients. We monitor each compost pile carefully to ensure correct temperature cycles and moisture content. This results in a superior soil amendment to fuel your soils biological engine.
You can order our organic compost and we will send it to anywhere within NZ - choose from 35 litre bags, 600 or 900 litre bags or bulk quantities. Click on the image below to head to our shop where you can learn more, and place an order. OUR SHOP IS CURRENTLY BEING REVISED
