Compost

Independently tested for quality and extraction performance.

An effective compost extract depends on the quality of the compost, especially the microbial biodiversity. Particle size and consistency can also affect the extraction process and both should be evaluated prior to use.

Grozome® is the only compost sold through Hiwassee Products.
