Custom Mixed Compost for Colorado Soils & Climates
Healthier Plants Through Improved Soil
With its organic properties and locally sourced materials, Timberline Humus Compost is a product that ensures improvement of soil health through increase of organic content, microbial activity, healthier and hardier soil structure in harsh varying climate conditions, and immense water retention ability. The state of Colorado experiences extreme variability in climate and soil structure. Having a product that can be used in universal soils to help improve soil health and quality is essential for the longevity of our landscapes.
Our compost is made from a mixture of locally sourced materials from our varying Timberline Landscaping projects as well as local ranchers and farmers. Our mix consists of different forms of cow, buffalo and horse manure, yard cleanup materials (grass, leaves, branches) and wood and mulch regrind materials. Using a vigorous 12-week process, we create a nutrient-rich, soil enhancing compost amendment that can be applied to your yard, garden beds, parks, ranches or flower pots to help enhance soil health, promote growth and produce abundant yield.
Our Humus Compost:
- Is fully organic and made from local organic grade materials, creating a closed loop system. Much of our green waste is brought in by local landscapers to be chipped and recycled.
- Is odorless, with zero stench of manure.
- Increases soil nutrients, health, and provides better soil structure.
- Aids in better water retention
- Lessens the dependence on harsh chemicals such as fertilizer & pesticides
The benefits of organic humus compost
Water
- Easier for groundwater to move in loosened soil
- Better water infiltration + increased water retention = decreased irrigation
- Increased water retention increases plant growth which helps with erosion control
Improved soil health
- Beneficial in varied soil structures
- Soil becomes progressively healthier
- Increased nutrient count
- Nutrients remain present over long term, held in stable form
- Less soil compaction
Improved plant health
- Increased germination rates, crop quality and yield
- Reduced need for fertilizer & pesticides
- Higher antioxidant levels

Organic Compost Tea:
Humus Compost tea is an extract of our physical humus compost. By extracting fractions of our humus compost product and adding it with water, we have created an extremely concentrated and nutrient dense liquid product. This product, due to its high levels of valuable nitrogen and carbon-based materials, can be applied in small quantities similar to that of a fertilizer. Being a liquid, this product will penetrate the harsh Colorado topsoil and make contact with roots of plants as well as enhance fertility of soil.
Compost tea comes with many of the benefits of compost humus. Consider using compost tea when your soil has good nutrients already or you need a temporary boost in nutrients. Compost tea is less expensive and easier to apply than traditional fertilizer.
