Compost Analysis
Microbes: Small in size but extremely powerful in numbers
The microbes Have It
Compost analysis should measure the specific microorganisms in your compost. These values determine its quality and worth. This type of analysis is important for all types of compost: thermophilic, vermicompost, as well as compost extracts and teas.
Comparing the amounts and diversity of microorganisms in your compost to standardized parameters is critical. These values determine compost’s suitability, value, and optimum application rate.
By accurately analyzing the quantity and diversity of microbes, we can help you maximize your compost. Specifically, we are looking mainly for number and types of bacteria, fungi, nematodes, oomycetes, protozoa, and actinobacteria.
You can only manage what you measure. Therefore, a quantitative assessment provides you a powerful tool to help your operation, whatever size or scale.
We can also assist you if you would like to learn how you can produce Biocomplete™ Compost. This is a vital means of bringing life and health back to your soil so your plants can truly flourish.
