Garden Green® is a premium soil amendment created through a carefully managed composting process that blends food waste from residents, businesses, and institutions with yard trimmings and brush. Produced year-round but available seasonally, this nutrient-rich compost is bagged and ready for gardeners looking to build healthy soils. Adding organic matter like Garden Green® improves soil structure, helping it drain during heavy rains and retain moisture during drought. Plants grown in organic-rich soil absorb nutrients more effectively and benefit from thriving soil microbes, promoting long-term plant health. Unlike chemical fertilizers, Garden Green® delivers nutrients gradually, reducing the risk of “burning” plants. To maximize its benefits, always water well after applying compost, as moisture is essential for microbes to work their magic. Achieving soil with 5% organic matter is a gardener’s ultimate goal, and Garden Green® is the perfect solution to get there.

Dakota Peat and Dakota REV

Dakota Peat is a highly decomposed organic matter derived from the nutrient-rich silt left behind by the glacial Lake Agassiz, which retreated around 10,000 years ago. This exceptional peat, composed of decomposed reeds and sedges, has been a vital resource for Red River Valley farmers for centuries. Dakota's commitment to environmental stewardship is evident through its sustainable practices, including restoring mined land into improved game refuges with waterways, nesting areas, and habitats for wildlife like moose, deer, and waterfowl. In line with this mission, Dakota REV, a liquid growth stimulant made from their renowned reed sedge peat, supports plant and soil health across various applications, from turf to agriculture and gardens. This organic product enhances root and plant growth while conditioning soil to optimize nutrient use, helping to increase yields and reduce inputs, making it a smart and sustainable choice for growers.
