===Compost===

Compost is the most widely used organic component. It's use in bioretention facilities is well established and documented.  Low-phosphorus composts should always be sought for use in low impact development facilities, including bioretention. These are typically created from feedstocks including yard, leaf, and wood waste, and excluding manures, biosolids, and food scraps.<ref>Hurley S, Shrestha P, Cording A.

Compost is the most widely used organic component. It's use in bioretention facilities is well established and documented.  Low available phosphorus composts should always be sought for use in low impact development facilities, including bioretention. In Ontario, compost should comply with mandatory Ontario Compost Quality Standards for Category 'AA'. Compost should also be certified to meet quality parameters recommended under the Compost Council of Canada Compost Quality Alliance (CQA) program through testing by an accredited soil laboratory. Low available phosphorus composts are typically created from feedstocks including yard, leaf, and wood waste, and excluding manures, biosolids, and food scraps.<ref>Hurley S, Shrestha P, Cording A.
