What is UAJA ComposT?
UAJA ComposT is a mixture of hardwood
sawdust - and clean municipal wastewater biosolids. The resulting high quality compost
product is rich in organic matter and plant nutrients, resembling
coarse peat moss, and is excellent for amending depleted soils, enriching planting mixes
and enhancing the growth of turf, ornamental plant species and horticultural crops. Our
facility optimizes and accelerates the process of composting which occurs at a much slower
pace in nature. The process we use also generates enough heat to essentially pasteurize
the product. Residual weed, fruit, and vegetable seeds, and micro-organisms do not survive
the process.
The organic, slow-release
nature of the nutrients in UAJA ComposT makes them less susceptible to loss through
leaching than conventional chemical fertilizers. In addition, UAJA ComposT possesses an
array of physical, chemical, and biological properties, which are difficult to find in any
other product. Aside from being an economical and uniform source of organic matter, UAJA
ComposT also:
- Improves Soil Structure
- Reduces Soil Compaction
- Increases Water Infiltration, Soil Aeration, Moisture
Holding Capacity and Mineral Nutrient Uptake Efficiency
- Provides Slow-release Nutrients for Plant Growth
