Healthy gardens start with healthy soil, and that’s something we care about deeply at Wonthaggi Garden Supplies.
Clyde Compost has been a big part of that story. Created by Vince and Andrea on their own farms, Clyde Compost came from a simple need. They wanted better soil, natural growing, and a way to improve plant health without chemicals. After years of great results on the farm, they began sharing it with others. Now it’s available right here at the store.
Clyde Compost is an A-grade certified organic compost. It is made using a traditional windrow method that follows Australian Standard 4454. Every batch is carefully monitored, allowed to heat naturally, then cooled and matured so the good bacteria and fungi have time to grow. This creates a living compost that supports healthy soil and strong plant growth. It is safe, natural, and full of life.
Why gardeners love it
Home gardeners can use Clyde Compost to improve garden beds, veggie patches, fruit trees, and new plantings. It adds organic matter, helps the soil hold water, and makes nutrients easier for plants to take up. With a pH between 7 and 8, it suits a wide range of plants. You can also mix it into tired soil to refresh it or use it when starting a new garden bed. Many people pair Clyde Compost with our soils, like Certified Organic Compost and Topsoil Blend, Screened Top Soil, or our Booster Blend. These mixes give your garden extra support by improving structure, drainage, and microbial activity.
They make it easier for roots to grow and help gardens cope with the changing Bass Coast conditions.
For farms and commercial projects
Clyde Compost has strong roots in farming, so it is no surprise that farmers and commercial growers value it too. Healthy soil leads to healthier crops, and healthier crops lead to healthier families and animals. Organic compost supports long-term soil improvement, especially when dealing with sandy or compacted soils. We also stock products like Lignite Humate, Lawn Mix, and organic soil blends. These help build soil carbon, improve structure, and support the beneficial fungi and bacteria that keep soil active. Many farms use these products to raise soil quality, improve water holding, and reduce nutrient loss after heavy rain.
A natural choice for healthy gardens
One of the best things about Clyde Compost is knowing exactly what goes into it. Only natural organic materials are used, such as cow, sheep, and horse manure, various straws, and matured wood shavings. There are no chemicals, no waste products, and no council waste. It is safe to use around edible gardens, children, and pets, which gives families peace of mind.
