SoilBuilder Compost Now Available

Deschutes Recycling has SoilBuilder Compost available for all your gardening projects. With such a high demand for our compost, we needed time to allow for the new batches to properly mature so we could guarantee the best quality compost in Central Oregon!

SoilBuilder is perfect for amending soil before planting or sodding, tilling into garden spots, building up mounds for planting and for use as a decorative alternative to bark in all gardening areas.

Compost is a wonderful conditioner for your soil. It improves soil structure and increases the soil's water holding capacity. Adding compost to your yard or garden will help your plants grow bigger and healthier.

Contact Deschutes Recycling at 541.388.1910 to get your SoilBuilder today. We deliver and offer compost spreaders for rent.
