The compost is a natural fertiliser<\/strong> produced from the controlled decomposition of organic matter. This process results in a 100% natural organic fertiliser<\/strong>, with an earthy texture and black colour, free of unwanted odours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00bbin_container\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb][vc_column_text]\n

          The applications of compost are numerous and thanks to its properties and its organic origin, it is an environmentally responsible<\/strong> product that promotes plant growth.<\/p>\n

          At the same time, its production allows us to revalue the amount of organic material waste produced by our society.<\/p>\n

          Compost is the best ally of farmers and gardeners, and it is also suitable for domestic use.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb]
