Arborganic Acres On-Farm Composting Facility - Pottstown, PA

At Arborganic Acres, we not only aim to produce quality products but to do so in a way that is right for the environment. Our mulches and compost are all organic-based in that they are produced from LOCALLY obtained organic sources which include wood chips (the carbon source) and leftover fruits, vegetables and grains (the nitrogen source). Rather than delivering this material to a landfill, the diversion to Arborganic Acres for processing into our mulch and compost products -- and your use of these products -- results in a complete cycle: “From the earth, to the earth.” We are the only facility in Chester County permitted by the State to recycle food waste.  Test results are available upon request.

ARBORGANIC PREMIUM COMPOST

Our premium compost provides the highest level of nutrients and microbiology allowing it to be used much easier by the soil and plants. The natural process of rain or hand watering creates a form of “COMPOST TEA” that seeps down into the soil for quick delivery while the larger particles remain on top for weed control and moisture retention. Ideal for loosening dense soil thus enhancing root growth and providing a longer term soil amendment.

BED AND GARDEN MIX

A 50/50 ratio* of compost and screened topsoil.  Ideal for starting new gardens and plantings.  Very popular for raised gardens and comparable in use to potting soil.  *Customizable ratios are available upon request.

“BIO-SOIL”

Our marketable “bio-soil” is carefully screened to remove stones, rocks or other larger organic material and is kept under a domed enclosure to keep it dry during rainy periods.  Ideal for larger landscaping projects, lawn repair or as fill for larger plantings. Our “bio-soil” also contains a significant portion of compost (~30%) which differentiates it from plain topsoil and makes it more beneficial for plants. An additional benefit of our “bio-soil” is that the beneficial microbes don’t remain localized but permeate throughout the immediate area to enrich your garden or plantings.
