What Is Compost Soil?

Nature's way of recycling organic matter

Compost soil is decomposed organic matter, leaves, food scraps, yard waste, and other plant material, broken down by bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms over time. The result is a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling material packed with slow-release nutrients and beneficial microbes that plants love.

Unlike regular garden soil, organic compost is specifically designed to improve whatever soil you already have. It acts as a natural soil conditioner that solves multiple problems at once: it loosens heavy clay soil for better drainage, helps sandy soil retain water, and feeds the underground ecosystem of worms and microorganisms that keep your plants healthy.

Our ready-made compost soil saves you the months of waiting that composting at home requires. Whether you have a compost bin at home or not, our pre-made compost is fully matured and ready to use immediately in your garden beds, potted plants, raised beds, or landscaping projects.

💧 Improves Water Retention

Compost soil acts like a sponge, holding moisture where plant roots need it most. This means less frequent watering, especially during the dry season.

🧬 Feeds Soil Biology

Rich in beneficial bacteria and fungi, organic compost builds a thriving underground ecosystem that continuously produces nutrients for your plants.

🏗️ Fixes Soil Structure

Whether your soil is too dense or too sandy, compost soil improves its texture for better root growth, aeration, and drainage.

🥬 Safe for Edibles

100% organic and chemical-free, compost is safe to use for growing vegetables, herbs, and fruit-bearing plants without any harmful residue.

How to Use Compost Soil

Step-by-step guide for best results

Whether you are composting for the first time or an experienced gardener looking to buy compost in the Philippines, here is how to get the most out of every sack:

1

Prepare your soil bed or pot

Loosen the existing soil to a depth of 15-20 cm using a garden fork or trowel. Remove any large stones, weeds, or debris. For potted plants, empty old depleted soil if needed.

2

Mix compost with your base soil

Blend 1 part compost soil with 3 parts loam soil (25% compost, 75% loam). For heavy clay soil, increase compost to 30-40% to improve drainage. For sandy soil, the standard 25% ratio helps with water retention.

3

Plant and water thoroughly

Place your plants or seeds in the enriched soil and water deeply until moisture reaches the root zone. The compost will immediately begin releasing nutrients into the surrounding soil.

4

Add mulch on top (optional but recommended)

Cover the soil surface with 2-3 cm of mulch (dried leaves, rice straw, or coco coir) to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and prevent compost from drying out in the Philippine heat.

5

Reapply every 2-3 months

Top-dress your pots and beds with fresh organic compost soil every 2-3 months. Sprinkle a 1-2 cm layer on the surface and water it in. This keeps the soil ecosystem active and your plants well-fed without full repotting.

💡

Pro Tip: Compost + Mulch Layering

The lasagna method for Philippine gardens

The most effective way to use compost soil is the layering method. Start with your base loam soil, add a generous layer of compost, then top everything with mulch (dried leaves, rice straw, or coco coir mulch). This creates a self-sustaining soil system.

The mulch protects the compost from the intense Philippine sun and heavy monsoon rains. As the mulch decomposes, it feeds the soil organisms living in the compost layer, which in turn produce more nutrients for your plants. It is like having a continuous composting process right in your garden bed.

The result: your soil improves with every cycle. Instead of soil that depletes over time, you build soil that gets richer and more productive with each application. Combine this with vermicast for the ultimate premium growing medium.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does compost soil cost per sack in the Philippines?
At Urban Goes Green, compost soil costs P80 per 8 kg sack. You can also get 5 sacks for P350 (P70 per sack), which saves you P50 on the bundle. The compost soil price includes well-matured organic compost ready for immediate use. We offer pick up from our four Metro Manila branches or same-day delivery via Lalamove.
What is the difference between compost and garden soil?
Compost is decomposed organic matter, leaves, food scraps, and plant material, that has been broken down into a dark, nutrient-rich material. Garden soil is a general-purpose planting medium. The key difference is that compost is an amendment: you mix it into existing soil to boost fertility, improve drainage, and add beneficial microorganisms. Garden soil can be used on its own, but it benefits enormously from having organic compost mixed in. For best results, use a 25-30% compost to 70-75% loam soil ratio.
How do I use compost soil for potted plants?
For potted plants, mix 1 part compost with 3 parts loam soil as your base growing medium. If repotting, fill the pot with this mixture and transplant your plant. For existing potted plants, simply add a 1-2 cm layer of compost soil on top of the existing soil as a top dressing every 2-3 months. Water thoroughly after applying. This method feeds the plant without disturbing the roots, and the compost slowly works its way down with each watering.
Can I mix compost with loam soil?
Absolutely, mixing compost with loam soil is one of the best combinations for plant growth. The ideal ratio is 25% compost to 75% loam soil. The organic compost adds slow-release nutrients, beneficial microorganisms, and improved moisture retention, while the loam provides solid structure and drainage. For an even better premium mix, add 10% vermicast to this blend. This three-part mix creates an exceptional growing medium for both ornamental and edible plants.
Do you deliver compost soil in Metro Manila?
Yes, we deliver compost for sale anywhere in Metro Manila via Lalamove. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 3 PM. You can also pick up from any of our four branches: Sampaloc (Manila), Pasig City, Novaliches (Quezon City), and North Caloocan. Delivery fees are calculated by Lalamove based on the distance from the nearest branch to your location. Just fill out the order form below and we will arrange everything.
How long does compost last in the soil?
Compost provides slow-release nutrients that feed your plants for 2-4 months depending on weather conditions, watering frequency, and plant type. In the Philippine climate, compost breaks down faster during the rainy season due to higher moisture and microbial activity. We recommend reapplying compost as top dressing every 2-3 months for potted plants and every 3-4 months for garden beds. Adding mulch on top significantly extends the life of compost by protecting it from heat and erosion.
