"The proof is in the pudding!" Galen Weston, Owner/Bald Mountain Farm

Below photos show the dramatically affected growth results of Bald Mountain Farm's bean trial using Organic Diestel Structured Compost. Both rows of beans were planted on the same day.

(TOP ROW LEFT) The beans treated with Organic Diestel Structured Compost are 24 inches tall on average with very good vigor and vitality.

(TOP ROW RIGHT) The control beans planted without Organic Diestel Structured Compost are 12 inches tall on average with spindly rows and many missing plants (poor take).

(BOTTOM ROW LEFT) Farmer Galen Weston with beans treated with Organic Diestel Structured Compost.

(BOTTOM ROW RIGHT) Farmer Galen Weston with beans planted without Organic Diestel Structured Compost.

Both rows of beans were planted on the same day. These results were evident after one sidedress application of Organic Diestel Structured Compost.


Sustaining a healthy future!
