How is Harvest Blend Compost Produced?
At Engel & Gray, Inc. Regional Compost Facility we follow a very strict criteria when manufacturing Harvest Blend Compost. We are a fully permitted facility that follows all County, State and Federal EPA regulations. These regulations exist to ensure that only safe and environmentally beneficial compost is produced. Harvest Blend Compost is manufactured using the aerobic (oxygen requiring) windrow method. When the ingredients are mixed, the temperature begins to naturally rise because of the microbial activity within the windrow. During this active composting period, the compost enters a high temperature phase that sanitizes the product and allows a high rate of decomposition. Once the temperature rises above 131 Degrees Fahrenheit it is kept above that temperature and the windrow is turned at least five times over the next fifteen days to ensure that all material is heated. Temperatures are monitored daily to document the process. This heating not only breaks down the organic material
