Collaboration with the Rodale Institute

The US Composting Council is excited to be partnering with the member Rodale Institute to spread the Victory Garden campaign. Together we have compiled many resources to support and market the use of compost in these vegetable gardens.  With this partnership, we are shining even more attention on the benefits of creating a Victory Garden helping the movement continue to go viral on social media.

Have you joined the rejuvenated Victory Garden movement? Millions of Americans who are sheltering in place due to the current COVID-19 restrictions have turned to their gardens for exercise, family activity, healthy produce and fun!  Compost is an essential ingredient to a successful Victory Garden, providing nutrients and organic matter to replenish tired soil. Even if you are unable to get soil tests, a 5% compost-to-soil ratio will help your garden flourish! In 1944, an estimated 20 million victory gardens produced more than 40% of all the fresh fruits and vegetables eaten. Growing a Victory Garden is a great way to sustain your family, community, and the planet.
