Green Frontier Compost

Biochar used in the composting process provides benefits not available in other composts.

• 
  The biochar is infused with nutrients and trace minerals available for release to a plant. The above soil half of the plant sends exudates (carb, protein, sugar packs) through the roots to exchange for nutrients. Biochar releases the nutrients it holds in response to the needs of biological workers in the soil food web. These micro and macro workers thrive on exudates, and their “cash” to “buy” their food energy is found in the soil bank. The biochar makes the soil food bank larger than normal. When biochar is applied to soil via compost, it plays an important role in supplying soluble trace minerals for the plant.
  
  
• 
  Biochar’s porosity provides space to increase water retention, and aeration and provides a habitat for beneficial microbes.
  
  
• 
  Biochar captures toxins and gases in the composting process and in soil. Three different greenhouse gases are reduced in the composting process.
  
  

Trace minerals used in the composting process are distributed throughout the compost and made available throughout the soil food web when blended with topsoil.

• 
  Fertilizer’s big three NPK are minimums affecting a plant’s survival – a plant needs available trace minerals to thrive.
  
  
• 
  A full spectrum of minerals affects soil tilth, reducing or eliminating tilling when minerals, organic matter, microbiology, and macrobiology are balanced in the soil.
  
  

Microbial activity breaks down (digests) the carbon and nitrogen in composting, extracting nutrients from the base organic matter. The food-based nitrogen source in Green Frontier Compost provides a rich supply of nutrients for the active microbial community.Application Recommendations for: Agriculture: Apply a minimum of 4yds per acre per year for a three-year time period to get maximum benefits. Soil samplesshould be taken and further recommendations made according to soil and crop needs.Lawn Fertilization:For new sod areas: Spread 1"-2" deep (3-6 cubic yards per 1,000 sq. ft.) and till in 5" to 7".For newly seeded areas: Spread 1"- 2" deep (3-6 cubic yards per 1,000 sq. ft.) and till in 5" to 7". To protect seeded areas against hot, dry weather or drying winds, apply Nature Wise 1/4" to 1/2" inch on top of the seed—Moisturize after spreading.For established lawns: Spread 1/4" deep (3/4 cubic yard per 1,000 sq. ft.) and water thoroughly.Repeat yearly for heavy clay soils. 1/2" deep (1 cubic yard per 1,000 sq. ft.)Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds Spread 2-4" deep (6-12 cubic yards per 1,000 sq. ft.) Apply in the Spring or Fall and till in 6" to 8". (Soil sample should be taken for precise application rate, water thoroughly)Houseplants - Bedding Plants Spread evenly on top of soil 2 (two) Tablespoons per 6" pot and mix in thoroughly, then water. Repeat in 6 months or when required. It can also be blended with potting soils for new plantings or for repotting at the same rate.Trees and Shrubs Dig the hole slightly shallower and two times wider than the ball or root zone and plant in a mixture of one part Nature Wise and two parts soil. Water immediately following planting.
