Desert Color Blend

Desert Color Blend:• Feedstock is clean yard trimmings generated from landscape maintenance. No animal wastes, sludge wastes or palm wastes are added.

• The shredded yard trimmings are composted for a minimum period of one month, with peak temperatures reaching 155 degrees Fahrenheit throughout this thermophilic stage.

• Composting is done by the windrow method with regular turning to expose all parts of the pile to high temperatures in order to achieve weed seed and pathogen kill. Product is processed according to California Integrated Waste Management Boards’ specifications for composted green waste. Curing phase is up to two months.

• Moisture content at time of marketing is approximately 25%. One cubic yard of compost weighs on average 1000 to 1150 pounds.

• Color is very dark, rich brown.

• Finished compost is screened through a 3/8 inch mesh.

• Amendments are added and mixed to compensate for nutrients lacking in desert soils. These include gypsum, soil sulfur, urea, K-Mag, Microbalance, iron sulfate, Tilth, and lota.

Desert Color Blend has the following characteristics:• Nutrient balance produces high bloom and color in desert soils.

• High water retention – increases water holding capacity in mineral soils.

• Improves soil fertility – provides a slow release source of minerals.

• Increases soil tilth – improves soil structure, aeration and drainage.

• Enhances microbial activity – provides and established population of beneficial microbes, which are essential for mineralization and plant nutrient uptake, as well as disease suppression.

Application:Desert Color Blend is a must for soil amendment and conditioning. It is generally used at the rate of one yard per one thousand square feet. If the soil is low in organic material or is a new planting, add an additional 2 yards of Humic Compost per one thousand square feet. It is a source of slow release nutrients and will increase the organic matter content in the soil profile.
