Questions and Answers
How can Johnston Farm's compost help with compacted soil in my Linden yard?
Compacted soil is a common issue in our area, often leading to poor drainage and struggling plants. Our compost is an excellent natural solution. When worked into the soil, it improves aeration and soil structure, allowing water and nutrients to reach plant roots more effectively. This creates a healthier foundation for lawns and shrubs, directly addressing the local challenge of dense, tired soil.
Do you accept yard waste like old shrubs or leaves for composting?
No, we do not accept yard waste from customers. Johnston Farm & Composting focuses on producing and selling our own premium compost and cedar mulch, as well as providing professional shrub care services. Our compost is created from materials sourced through our own farming and landscaping operations to ensure a consistent, high-quality product for sale to Linden homeowners.
What's the benefit of using your cedar mulch for shrub beds?
Our cedar mulch, derived from specific tree species, offers several benefits for shrub care in Linden. It helps retain soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering. It also suppresses weed growth around your shrubs, regulates soil temperature, and adds a finished look to your landscape. As it slowly breaks down, it contributes organic matter to the soil, supporting the long-term health of your plants.
