[email protected] Camperdown Compost Company has been selling compost since 1998. Since that time we’ve gone from selling 30 tonnes of compost to one local dairy farmer in the first year, to managing almost 100,000 tonnes of waste this year. This equates to compost being spread on more than 60,000 hectares each ye

ar. Our farmers are reporting fewer weeds in their pastures and more robust plants during dramatic weather events. Their farms are healthier and more productive than ever which is translating to higher income and lower input costs. Our on-farm composting program uses best practice dairy farm waste management, reducing traditional fertiliser use and minimising your exposure to fluctuating global fertiliser prices. Compost helps to protect your soil and plants against pathogens and retains nutrients in the soil so they don’t leach from the root zone. It also allows nutrients to cycle into plant available forms and improves the uptake of soil or foliar nutrients while breaking down the pollutants in the soil. A 1% increase in organic carbon in the top 30cm of soil will increase the soil’s capacity to hold water by a massive 144,000 litres per hectare, or 14.4 litres per square metre. 132 tonnes of carbon is sequestered per hectare. Camperdown Compost has a licensed EPA facility near Camperdown taking waste mainly from food processors. It also manages the waste on many dairy farms in the south west. In addition, its Geelong branch Geelong Compost makes compost on approximately 100 farms around Geelong and the Surf Coast.

From looking at soil improvements under last year’s crops to a great start for this years’ crop. We visited ‘Airlie’ in early June where Paul Hucker’s oats crop north of Lake Bolac are looking great. Paul used 7-8 tonnes of Camperdown Compost with 80Kgs of Guano per hectare on this oat crop and is very pleased with the soil structure, fungal presence and excellent root hair development and root depth. The compost adds a balanced range of macro and micro-nutrients and carbon to feed the live bacterial and fungal microorganisms that help balance your soils ecosystem and grow very healthy roots.

A great way to use our Compost

What a difference 12 months can make. 🌱

With harvest wrapped up, we took the 2-tonne excavator out to have a proper look at what's happening below the surface after the first year of amelioration.

This photo tells the story.

You can clearly see the compost pocket, packed with healthy root growth where the soil biology is thriving. Beside it—and underneath—you can see the dense, hard clay layer that has limited root development for years.

At Subgro, that's exactly what we're working to change.

Our goal isn't just to improve the topsoil—it's to get the subsoil working for farmers, creating deeper root systems, better water infiltration, improved nutrient access, and ultimately more resilient, productive crops.

It's only year one, but seeing roots chase the compost and begin exploring deeper into the profile is a great sign of what's to come.

Our compost is exceptional value. For $20/tonne you receive the equivalent elemental nutrition value of $116.
Consider how compost could provide the same macro nutrients for less than synthetics with the extra benefit of a complete range of micro nutrients and live biology that comes with the compost.
