Environmental Benefits
Using Nutri-Green® Compost helps decrease runoff and soil erosion by adding organic matter that captures water. Without an adequate amount of organic material, soil is compact and water runs off, causing erosion and insufficient moisture for plant growth. Adding Nutri-Green® Compost, which is high in organic content, causes soil particles to form separate clumps and tiny pockets of air. The air space allows water to enter the ground, enabling the soil to hold more water for increased plant growth. This, in turn, decreases runoff and soil erosion.
Where to find Nutri-Green® Compost
Nutri-Green® Compost is available in bulk and in 40-pound bags at some local garden centers. For additional information call HRSD at 757-460-4276 or visit http://www.hrsd.state.va.us/aboutnutrigreen.htm
