Compost
Your Nutrition Program is a comprehensive plan that goes beyond feeding alone. The introduction of high-quality organic matter is crucial to soil health. Compost has been proven to increase moisture retention, improve soil structure and even fend off disease by boosting microbial activity. As a bonus, utilizing compost on a regular basis will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
CQA (Compost Quality Alliance) is a voluntary program established by the Compost Council of Canada in conjunction with compost producers. CQA members follow standardized methodologies to ensure high quality from production to utilization. Although Your Nutrition Program recommends using CQA approved sources, it is understood that they are not yet widely available. Going forward, A&L will continue to work closely with the Compost Council of Canada to improve access to this hugely beneficial commodity.
