From selling horse manure out of a wagon to making the best compost and soil mixes in Central Texas, Organics “By Gosh” has always taken things that others threw away and turned them into great products that make our environment better than it was in the first place. Grandpa Gosh used to say, “It can be done, by gosh!”. The Gosh family motto stuck with our owner, Phil Gosh, his entire life.
We have plans to change the way people think about the ground they walk on and what they throw away. Organics “By Gosh” takes material that others see as “waste”, adding love, hard work, and creativity to turn them into soil and compost resources that make the earth a better place to live. It’s about treating people and our environment the right way. And that’s something that’s worth being done, “by gosh”!
The City of Austin has pledged to become Zero Waste by the year 2040. Zero Waste means that as a community we would divert 90-95% of everything that goes to the landfill by reducing, reusing, recycling, and repurposing these “waste” resources. The City of Austin knows that our community plays the key role in reaching these goals so they offer some awesome rebates for both residents and businesses who want to do their part to help Austin become more sustainable.
Let’s talk trash. No, not smack talk. Literal trash.
A common obstacle we face every day is the contamination unloaded at our yard alongside valuable wasted food resources. This is not only a nuisance and a hindrance to the composting process; it can also be a costly problem.

With the United States choosing to withdraw from The Paris Agreement, we keep hearing the same question: “well, what can I do now?” We love this proactive spirit so we want to help with ideas!
We can all make small changes that can contribute to lasting environmental progress, starting in our own backyards. Conscious gardening and lawn care choices positively impact the local environment. And if everyone commits to making helpful changes, these projects can compound into real global improvements and restore Earth’s health.
This week is International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW)! If you aren’t familiar, we made a short animation to explain what the program is all about.
For this special ICAW post, we decided to go local and discuss composting in Austin.
