Recompose

Send this to your favorite gardener. 🌱

The life-giving material created when someone makes the choice to be composted after they die is a true gift to the earth.

The process of composting is special because it builds soil health. And soil? It’s the basis of all of life on earth.

While every body that comes to Recompose is different, each one creates nutrient-rich compost. Below are results typical of the compost produced by Recompose.

🌿 NPKS of 2.2-2.9-1.9-1.2: balanced nutrient content with a good supply of macronutrients.

🌿Very stable respiration test: indicates nutrients are stabilized.

🌿Nitrate content of 383: indicates aerobic status and advanced decomposition.

🌿Bioassay at relative immaturity: best to use at lower concentration around roots of young plants.

🌿Passes all tests for levels of pathogens and heavy metals.

🌿C/N ratio of 19: indicates slow nutrient release. May cause slight nitrogen “tie up” but no “burn”.

🌿pH of 6.6 for most plants.

🌿Moderate electrical conductivity: presence of soluble ions but not salty.
