Testimonials
“ Back to Nature Cotton Burr Compost is top-notch and our customers love it. The loose, fluffy consistency is
a perfect choice for amending our Midwestern clay soils. Anti-fungal properties are a big bonus for those who grow Hydrangeas and Roses."
“ I was turned onto cotton burr compost from The Back To Nature Company over 20 years ago by our good friend Warren Johnson. I was sceptical at first with all the claims he was making, so he decided to give me 5 bags to try in my garden. So in February I mixed 5 bags in my 5'x20' garden plot. I planted broccoli, my favorite vegetable, and I harvested broccoli heads 9"-11" across, which was 50% bigger than I had ever grown!! I didn't even fertilize them either!! Now I mix cotton burr compost in every landscape bed or garden I make. It's awesome for enhancing plant growth and production!!!"
