Once food waste. Now healthy soil. Pick up at the Innovation Barn, no appointment needed:Tuesday–Friday 10AM–4PM · Saturday 11AM–4PM Each bag weighs roughly 40 lbs (weight varies a little with moisture content). Our compost starts as food scraps collected right here in Charlotte and ends as rich, living soil — closing the loop one bag at a time. Every bag is fully finished, screened, and ready to use, with a loose, crumbly texture that's easy to spread and gentle on young roots. Work it into your garden and it goes to work fast: improving drainage in heavy clay, helping sandy soil hold onto water, and feeding your plants with slow-release nutrients and beneficial microbes. The result is better aeration, healthier roots, and soil that keeps getting better season after season. Whether you're prepping a new bed, top-dressing the lawn, filling raised beds, or giving tired containers a boost, this is the same compost we're proud to make from our neighbors' food scraps — now bagged and ready for yours. Grown from Crown Town scraps. Made for Crown Town gardens.
