what is compost?
Compost is a carbon-rich decomposed organic material packed with fungi, and beneficial microbes that are used to improve soils and feed plants. Our compost is specially designed to be fungal-dominated, which means that it is rich in beneficial fungi that help create a healthy soil food web, providing water and nutrients to plants while out-competing disease-causing organisms.
Using our high-quality compost has numerous benefits for your farm, including re-inoculating the soil with beneficial microbes, increasing soil organic matter, and soil carbon, and improving soil structure. Additionally, our compost improves water infiltration and water holding capacity, making it an ideal solution for farms.

At Twala Farming, we are committed to supporting a circular economy by sourcing materials locally from farm waste generated by rural farmers. This ensures that we are able to create high-quality compost while reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
Our composting process involves using a secret recipe that includes a higher proportion of carbon-rich materials such as pigeon pea wood chips, maize cobs, and grass. We also add biochar to our compost, which creates a home for microbes and increases water-holding capacity. Biochar is a long-term store of carbon.
