Our MBG BioBalanced Compost - ES is a handmade and all-natural product that is perfect for enriching your soil and promoting healthy plant growth. Made from a diverse blend of organic materials, this compost is rich in essential nutrients that your plants need to thrive. Our unique process ensures that the compost is fully matured and ready to use, so you can enjoy the benefits of healthy soil and vibrant plants without any hassle. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, our ES Compost is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to improve their garden's health and vitality.
This product is perfect for Early Successional plants like Vegetables, Grasses, and much more. ES plants like Legal "tomatos" require a greater Bacterial Biomass to Fungal Biomass ratio (B:F) to grow healthy and strong. The organism growth in this box is more bacterially dominant than it is fungal at this maturation level. Making it very appropriate for Vegetables, Grasses and other ES plants that require those biomass levels in the soil to grow their best. Please visit our website for more information.

**Rutgers Cooperative Extension Fact Sheet FS336 provides information about lead in soil. https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs336/
US EPA Lead Soil Test = 23 ppm
US EPA Lead Test Interpretation: These levels are very low. Material is at background levels.
| US EPA Lead Soil Test1 | Mehlich-3 Soil Test Lead (ppm)2 | Interpretation and Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0–100 | 0–47 | Soil test is at background levels. It is still a good idea to follow the strategies listed below to protect children's health. |
| 101–300 | 47–202 | Soil has elevated levels of lead, though below the recommended action limits. Follow the strategies to protect children's health, listed below. |
| 301–400 | 202–278 | Soil test indicates that there is significant contamination with lead. Follow strategies to protect children's health, listed below. It is suggested that children sunder the age of six, who may have been repeatedly exposed to the soil be tested for blood lead level and be examined by a physician. |
| Greater than 400 | Greater than 278 | This is the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection soil clean-up criterion for residential soil. It recommends that children under the age of six, who may have been repeatedly exposed to the soil, be tested for blood lead level and be examined by a physician. Vegetables for consumption should not be grown in this soil. |
