The Inspiration: Humble Beginnings
Our love for
composting goes back several generations to our grandfathers who were
devoted gardeners. Rich, fertile soil was an essential component to
these gardens and could make all the difference come harvest season. A
compost pile in the backyard was one of my first impressions of
composting and the natural, organic fertilizing of their vegetable
patch.
As it turns out, recycling
of organic materials is a necessity for today as much as it was back in
the time of our grandfathers.

The following generations
took composting to the city but were presented with unique challenges.
The signature compost smell (which can be made worse after a harsh
winter) is a real deterrent for many people. This is unfortunate because
composting provides us with so many benefits including the chance to
build up depleted land and improve soil erosion, reducing land fill mass
and minimizing water table pollution. |

After many hours of
considering this unique challenge and even more time spent on research
and vigorous testing, a solution was born! We were pleased to find that
zeolite, the "Magical Mineral" behind EcoCompo could address the common
complaint of "smelly compost" while adding even more incentives to compost. |

As hobby growers,
gardeners and members of the Just Food Movement in Ottawa, this is a
cause that is very near and dear to us. We invite you to navigate
through this website and learn a little more about our passion for
composting and protecting our fragile environment. |
