Vital Earth Resources, Inc. was founded in 1983 by the Hammer family. Vital Earth pioneered In-Vessel Composting and introduced the commercial use of compost in horticultural and landscape soils. Our goals were to produce the highest quality, most consistent, nutrient rich compost in the market. Today, we continue to achieve these high quality results and promote valued relationships with our partners in horticulture and agriculture. In 1993, Vital Earth acquired the renowned Texas fertilizer manufacturer, Carl Pool Products, now a division of Vital Earth Resources. The Vital Earth VITAZYME division is extensively involved in the creation and marketing of agricultural biostimulants worldwide.
