“We were aware of BetterEarth Premium Organic Compost’s great nutrient profile and soil enhancing capabilities, so we had high expectations from the start. With a one-half truckload of BetterEarth, however, our flowers, landscaping, fruits, and vegetables performed well beyond what we expected or could have even hoped for.

Compared to previous years with commercial fertilizers, plants that grew in BetterEarth grew faster, grew larger, looked healthier, and were more fruitful than ever before. The soil also looked richer and looser, and it held moisture better as a result of the compost.

We could not eat, process, or even give away all the vegetables our small garden produced. At times it overwhelmed us. At our garden’s peak we would get 20-25 pounds of vegetables each picking and we would pick three or four times a week. Our tomato plants grew to a height of about 10 feet. Five cucumber plants completely covered a four foot fence that was about 16 feet long. Our tomatoes and peppers kept producing until the first killing frost.

We planted new strawberries and transplanted raspberries right into the compost in a location that was supposed to be a little too shady for fruit. But the plants grew vigorously, multiplied abundantly, and produced fruit their first year. We can’t wait until next season to really enjoy the delicious 100% organic fruits. Our flowers also grew faster and looked better than ever before – and all without fertilizer or any other solid additive except the compost.

Our first year with BetterEarth made believers out of us and out of our neighbors as well. We tell everyone who will listen, the key to beautiful, vibrant, productive plants is BetterEarth Premium Organic Compost. Next year we will need to plant a smaller garden... or maybe no garden at all if our neighbors begin using BetterEarth Premium Organic Compost on their gardens.”
