USING DIRT BOOSTER PLUS TO CREATE SUPER COMPOST
Dirt Booster Plus can be used with regular garden soil, but for best results it should be used with a manure compost. Microbes and fungi won't become active at low temperatures so make sure the manure or soil is warm by letting it sit in the sun for a few hours prior to beginning the application process.
- Establish a work area and begin making your pile. First, put down a layer of manure compost. Then, sprinkle Dirt Booster Plus on top. Repeat this process until pile is at desired size. Wet the pile lightly with a hose and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before mixing the pile thoroughly and shaping it into a pyramid. At this time, the entire pile should feel moist but not wet. Once in a pyramid, gently make a hole from the top to bottom using a pole or a stick. Let the pyramid sit.
- Let your pile site for 2-3 days. Within 24 hours the microbial digestion will start and the pile will heat up as high as 130° F. You may see a white haze that looks like mold. This is good.
*Do not plant directly in Dirt Booster Plus compost as this material will be very high in nutrients and doing so could result in burning. Instead, mix Dirt Booster Plus compost into your garden.
APPLYING DIRT BOOSTER PLUS TO LAWNS
One 20 lb bag of Dirt Booster Plus will cover roughly 4,000 to 5,000 sq ft. Set your broadcast spreader so the opening is roughly 3/16" and apply. Water in thoroughly after application.
The spreader settings for this product were established using standard equipment available from the spreader manufacturer at swath widths and speeds typically used within the industry. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Spreader settings are intended as a guide and unit calibration should still be performed to ensure proper application rates. They are not intended to replace calibration. The Andersons recommends the use of broadcast spreader for its products.
