Great Changes for 2026

We’ve had a very positive 2025 and hope that all of you have as well. There’ve been many reasons for our positive growth, including hard work, love of the soil and a tremendous support group in our customer base that is second to none. We are truly blessed in what we get to do every day by bringing real organic, non-GMO and most biologically-active compost, potting soil and seed starter to the organic soil market space.

One of the great changes for 2026 for Malibu Compost has come in the creation and augmentation of regional distribution partners who are warehousing, selling and distributing the Malibu Compost line through their local retail locations and out into the marketplace at very competitive prices. This has lowered our MSRP in many markets and has helped increase sales. This effort has created new markets for Malibu Compost: Arizona through Sprinkler World, along the California Central Coast via Farm Supply Company, across the midwest with BuildASoil and our Southern California presence with Aqua-Flo Supply, the regional distributor that we started this entire new concept with.

We are still distributed throughout the West Coast with national distributor BFG Supply who purchased our previous distributors Central Garden & Pet and L&L Supply a few years ago. BFG has been instrumental in our continued growth in the Pacific Northwest and still distributes us as far as Colorado.

We have updated our Store Locator to reflect our new distribution:

One other change we want to highlight is the labeling of all of our bags as Non-GMO, Farm Made and Organic. This has created a buzz in the industry as we are the only Non-GMO Organic offering in the United States.

We want you all to know that we will continue to make our Bu’s Blend Compost the real organic and Non-GMO compost that you can all trust for your safe edible gardens, orchards, rose gardens, lawns, hedges, surrounding planting beds, containers and every outdoor area of your home. From all of us at Malibu Compost, we thank you and are grateful for your support. We wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2026!
