Compost is a natural product which increases the humus in the soil. This gives a good base for the active growth of microbes which in turn makes organic nutrients available for plants. This leads to healthy plant growth which is less susceptible to pests and diseases. Compost also helps to retain water.

The compost in which mushrooms are grown is produced scientifically to very exact specifications in order to create a quality organic fertilizer.

Compost is not something that comes up generally in normal conversation – apart from as a four-letter word!  At Stanler Farms, the home of Super Grow fertiliser, however - “compost happens”! 

Here it is spoken of with conviction and passion.  In a world of sanitised soaps and cleaners (as advertised extensively on TV), bacteria have received a bad rap.   Bill Bryson, however, in “A Short History of Nearly Everything” speaks about the essential role that bacteria play in sustaining life on earth.

 In the words of Peter Stanton, the CEO of this nation-wide business -   “Here we actually sell bacteria and fungi” -  and sports fields, schools, golf courses, farms and gardens are the richer for it!
