SoilandWater.com Bugs!™COMPOSTER A safe, natural biodegradation accelerator |


SoilandWater.com Bugs! COMPOSTER is a unique product offering the synergy of eight endo-spore forming, gram-positive Bacillus strains (which rapidly activate to produce large quantities of protease, esterase, lipase, amylase, xylanase, urease and cellulase enzymes) supported by raw cellulase and xylanase enzymes, nutrients and micro-nutrients, to provide a safe, natural way to accelerate the biodegradation of lawn waste, leaves and woody materials, in central municipal or commercial composting sites and homeowner's gardens. Recently improved with higher spore count, and four new thermophilic bacterial strains. When used as directed in composting, SoilandWater.com Bugs! Composter will provide high yields of natural humus within only 30 to 60 days, which may be used to stimulate plant growth, improve plant health, color, stability and resistance to disease. The spore forming bacterial strains in SoilandWater.com Bugs! Composter can survive, dormant, in the compost through hot, dry weather and over the winter; reactivating whenever conditions moderate, allowing the process to continue with minimal supplemental dosages. * Our Formula is Compliant with Canadian DSL = Approved for sale in Canada. |
CHARACTERISTICS: Bacteria Count: 2.0 Billion CFU/gram Appearance: Free-flowing brown colored powder FEATURES AND BENEFITS: |
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: For Large-Site Composting, for each surface-acre, mix 2.5 or 3 pounds of SoilandWater.com Bugs! Composter with 500 to 600 gallons of UNCHLORINATED water once a week, and spray with a hydromulcher or similar spray equipment. For maximum decomposition speed, the compost should be turned weekly when the temperature reaches 140 F, for aeration, and should be kept moist (50-70% moisture values) at all times. Above ground enclosures made of wooden slats or wire screening will accelerate the speed of decomposition, by increasing aeration. In-ground pits are less desirable, because they perform more slowly. Avoid biomass treated with herbicides when using this product. If compost waste is mostly green-waste, add sufficient ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) to maintain a carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 30 or less (bacteria consume 15-30 parts of carbon for each part of nitrogen, when digesting typical compost). Supplementation with ammonium nitrate will not be necessary if the waste includes a sufficient quantity of food and animal waste to balance high carbon-low nitrogen waste, such as peanut hulls, wheat straw and sawdust. Alternative Calculation for Windrow Composting: apply 50 - 125 g/yd3 on days 1 and 8. For Application to Agricultural Fields After Harvest: Cut down and chop the leftover vegetation, spreading it in a thin layer over the entire field. Measure the carbon to nitrogen ratio and add ammonium nitrate sufficient to maintain a ratio of C/N of 30 or less. For each surface-acre, apply 2.5 pounds of SoilandWater.com Bugs! Composter with 500 gallons of unchlorinated water and 3 gallons of Bio-Nutrient 9, our soil amendment humic extract, which will both decrease the time necessary to break down the vegetation, and make the nutrients more bioavailable to the plants grown on the next crop on the field. After three weeks, use a hay thrashing machine to turn the vegetation, and apply another dose of the mixture. Repeat in one month. If the climate is very dry, add sufficient water (preferably through irrigation) to maintain 50-70% moisture levels. You should be able to plant your next crop within 3 months after beginning treatment, and your crop should be healthier. For Home Use: Mix 1 to 2 ounces of SoilandWater.com Bugs! Composter with 1 gallon of unchlorinated warm water. Stir well and let stand for 30 minutes prior to applying to each layer of new clippings or leaves and wet the entire surface after application. If composter is very small, thoroughly mix the compost daily to promote faster breakdown, otherwise weekly turning and watering is sufficient. |
