Cobblestone Community
Here is what 1.5 cubic yards of elephant compost looks like. 2801 Cobblestone Apartments launched a community initiative to grow their own food. After collecting donations from the community, the administration helped to match the funds. This enabled the residents to build the raised beds and to buy the Elephant compost.
If you live in a gated community, encourage your neighbors and landlords to follow Cobblestone’s lead and install some veggie gardens! Let us know where to deliver the compost to. Below you can see the raised beds we filled with this highly effective soil amendment.
Please Donate generously to help fund further scientific research into the use of elephant compost for produce production in sub-tropical climates

What Gainesville has in common with Seattle, Auckland, & Wellington
We are pleased to bring Elephant Compost to the North Central Florida area. With its off the chart Nitrogen rating, both urban gardeners and field farmers can benefit greatly from this alternative soil product.
The zoos in Seattle Washington and New Zealand have been selling this type of product for years, at a premium. This is a sought after soil product, but no one could get their hands on it, until NOW!
Help support your local, all natural economy by purchasing your Elephant Compost by the bag or by the 1.3 cubic yard. Delivery is free within the Greater Gainesville city limits.
Extra delivery fees will apply outside of the Gainesville, Florida area. Contact us today for a quote!

The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences’ Analytical Services Laboratories produced a 6 page report on the nutrient content of the Elephant Compost available through this website. The testing lab specifically assayed this soil amendment when used with tomato, bean, and citrus crops. The graphic below is part of of this report:
In addition, the Livestock Waste Testing Lab also checked for micronutrients. Here are the concentrations of what they found:
Micronutrients are listed below in mg/liter (ppm) values
(Copper) Cu = 1
(Manganese) Mn= 9
(Zinc) Zn= 7Interested in all 6 pages of the report? [sociallocker]Send an e-mail to me at hostmaster@majesticvision.com requesting the full 6 page report![/sociallocker]
