Do you use manure? What about poultry litter?
We do not use compost or manure as a source of nutrients in our media. Poultry litter is a fertilizer that provides a good source of N, P, K and Ca. The litter has been heated and pelletized during manufacture by our vendor. Our choice to use poultry litter came after a rigorous vetting process that all our vendors undergo. Samples of each batch of fertilizer we purchase are tested for pathogens before use.
Our proprietary bioCHARGE manufacturing process transforms added nutrients and other inputs creating a product with unique nutrient bioavailability.
