Cowsmo Compost

We produce composted cow manure within the NOP guidelines from our dairy farm that is owned by Nettie Rosenow, my wife and I. Our compost is unique because we flush our manure with recycled water from our lagoons and then we separate the liquids from the solids. We compost the solids on a blacktop surface designed and approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

We monitor temperatures and turn when appropriate with a self propelled turner. We test to determined when the compost is done.

We also sell organic potting soil. We have 4 types for your preferences. Red is a general purpose mix with 12% sand. Blue is a mix for transplanting and has 17% sand and Green has no sand and is good for starting plants in cells or soil blocks. Green plus is an enhanced Green with more fertilizer and perlite.

In a Practical Farmers of Iowa on-farm experiment, Cowsmo did better than the other soils https://practicalfarmers.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2020_pottingsoilvariety_final.pdf .
