Organic Soil vs. Compost
Though the terms are often used
interchangeably, organic soil serves
to support plant life, while compost
is typically used to enrich the soil
itself.

How Is Organic Soil Made?
Organic soil is crafted by perfecting a
delicate balance of weathered rock,
water, air, and decomposed organic
matter to achieve optimal levels of
drainage, aeration, and support for
plant life.

What Is Organic Soil?
Organic soil is composed primarily
of plant materials, and often
amended with compost to ensure
its nutrient levels are optimized to
cultivate plant life.

Green Roofs
The process of installing plants,
shrubs and grass atop a building is
well known to Europeans, but it has
only recently entered the
mainstream in North America.
