Meet Randy and Norma

Your real organic garden consultants and organic gardening class instructors for your garden, farm or landscape. 

Randy Ritchie

Randy is known to be one of the greatest leaders in Real Organic Gardening by many who know him in the lawn and garden industry. He is the best selling garden book author of A Hundred Years of Deception - Why Gardening Must Change, and has recently released his new book Real Organic Gardening to help gardeners learn how to change the way they garden.

 

Randy forged his small soil company, Malibu Compost, ahead of the competition as the leader in real organic, farm made and Non-GMO compost and soil products.

 

Gardeners have turned to Malibu Compost for 15 years now and have grown their healthy soil by his efforts to teach real organic gardening classes nationwide at local nurseries, feed and farm supply's, landscape supply stores and national garden shows. 

 

Prior to founding Malibu Compost, he was a garden designer who created the first eco landscape company in Los Angeles. His passion to teach real organics to gardeners has resulted in these online classes, personal garden, farm and landscape consultations and podcasting to tens of thousands nationwide.
