Suståne 2-3-3 Concentrated Compost
for Rebuilding Depleted Soils and Providing Rapid Vegetative Establishment in Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Label | Spec Sheet | SDS | STA Certificate |
Description:
Suståne Concentrated Compost 2-3-3 provides the benefits of a biologically stable aerobic compost rich compost in a concentrated, dry form. Concentrated Compost is easy to apply and replenishes the soil with a rich supply of stabilized organic matter and essential nutrients required for quality growth.
Recommended Use:
Suitable for revegetation projects, rapid vegetative establishment, erosion control, wetlands and watershed areas, native plant areas, dune and beach restoration, burn area reestablishment, mine site reclamation, oil/gas/coal right of ways and pipelines, highway roadside establishment, protected natural areas, forests, parks and landscapes.
Benefits of Suståne Concentrated Compost
- Provides the benefits of compost in a dry, concentrated form which minimizes transportation and application costs.
- Contains all primary, secondary and tertiary nutrients for plant growth eliminating the need to apply additional fertilizer.
- Adds approximately 10% humates by weight.
- Low Salt Index (6) requires no delay in planting following application.
- Supplies soil with 60% Organic Matter in the form of stabilized humus.
- Carbon: Nitrogen Ratio (9:1) ensures no N immobilization in soil.
- Increases the nutrient and water holding capacity of the soil.
- Enhances the soil’s ability to suppress plant pathogens.
- Improves and sustains soil health.
- Improves buffering against changes in soil pH.
- Increases the soil’s C.E.C (cation exchange capacity).
- Improves soil structure, porosity, and stability leading to greater root development, infiltration, and soil micropores.
Always Safe for Plants, People, and the Environment
- Manufactured by Suståne in the USA at an EPA-permitted facility.
- Pathogen and weed/seed-free, no blood, bone, or meat products.
- The only organic allowed for export to over 50 countries worldwide.
- USDA NOP, COR, EU, and JAS organic compliant.
- Aerobic composting eliminates animal and rodent attraction to the application site.
- Suståne will not attract flies, pests, or other insects.
- Suståne is fully composted - not sterilized; enhancing the soil environment for beneficial microbial populations.
Low Carbon Footprint
- Made from natural renewable agricultural resources, has a low carbon and greenhouse gasses (GHG) footprint.
- Suståne complies with regulatory mandate and exceeds most health and safety standards.
- The Suståne process avoids the generation of more significant greenhouse gasses such as methane and nitrous oxide.
- With Suståne the energy required to transport is reduce 4:1 per kg. vs. wet compost.
- Granulation simplifies handling allowing more accurate applications and stays where applied.
Suståne Integrated Soil Management Program:
Land Management, Native Restoration & Erosion Control Programs:
Hydroseeding
- For 60 lb. of N per acre apply 3,000 lb.
- For 80 lb. of N per acre apply 4,000 lb.
- For 120 lb. of N per acre apply 6,000 lb.
Soil Preparation
- Light, High Sandy Soil: 136 lb. per 1000 ft2 of bed
- Medium, Clay Loam Soil: 90 lb. per 1000 ft2 of bed
- Heavy, Silty, Clay Loam: 68 lb. per 1000 ft2 of bed
(Hydroseeding: Mix with water solution at a ratio of 4 lb. Suståne 2-3-3 to 1 gallon of water or 2 tons per 1,000 gallon tank)
Soil Remediation: For bio-remediation, forest re-establishment & extreme situations where top soil has been removed or badly damaged.
- Incorporate 136 lb per 1,000 ft2 into the damaged soil.
- Re-apply 60 to 90 days later at a rate of 68 lb. per 1,000 ft2.
Preparation for Landscapes and Remediation:
Suståne Concentrated Compost is intended as a general soil builder for broadcast application and improving soil organic matter levels, cation exchange capacity and enhancing and diversifying soil biological activity levels.
Soil Preparation:
- Light, High Sandy Soil: 14 lb. per 100 ft2 of bed
- Medium, Clay Loam Soil 10 lb. per 100 ft2 of bed
- Heavy, Silty, Clay Loam 7 lb. per 100 ft2t of bed
