directory » compost

Composting food scraps, garden waste, and organic waste from commercial enterprises creates rich new soil and dramatically reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills. Amending your soil with compost is better for you, your plants, and the earth than chemical fertilizers.

In addition to creating your own compost, there are several options for purchasing compost produced in San Miguel de Allende. If you plan to use it on your food garden, we recommend choosing an organic compost.
