Combining composted cotton burrs and composted shredded hardwood, this blend offers a versatile solution for improving clay or sandy soils while supporting the long-term health of your garden.

What Is Back To Earth Cotton Burr Blend?

This soil amendment is carefully crafted from natural materials, including composted cotton burrs and shredded hardwood, ensuring it’s free from chemicals, weeds, insects, or harmful pathogens. The composting process eliminates any impurities, leaving behind a nutrient-dense product that restores essential organic matter and humus to depleted soils.

Unlike traditional fertilizers that provide short-lived nutrient boosts, the Cotton Burr Blend offers sustained benefits by improving soil structure, water retention, and aeration. Its unique composition makes it ideal for gardeners looking for a long-term solution to soil health.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

1. Composted Cotton Burrs
• Cotton burrs, the outer protective covering of cotton plants, are rich in nutrients and organic matter.
• These burrs decompose quickly, providing immediate improvements to soil texture and fertility.
2. Composted Shredded Hardwood
• Adds structure and bulk to the soil while breaking down over time to release essential nutrients.
• Enhances the soil's ability to retain water and resist erosion.
3. Elemental Sulfur (Optional Feature)
• Included to neutralize high-pH soils, making it suitable for gardens with alkaline soil conditions.
• Improves nutrient availability by adjusting pH to a range that plants thrive in.

Transformative Benefits for Your Soil

• Improves Soil Tilth and Structure: Ideal for clay or sandy soils, this blend helps create a looser, more workable soil with improved aeration and drainage.
• Restores Organic Matter: Infuses depleted soils with humus, a critical component for nutrient retention and microbial activity.
• Enhances Water Retention: The organic components act like sponges, holding moisture in sandy soils and preventing waterlogging in clay soils.
• Supports Soil Microbiology: Encourages beneficial microbial activity, fostering a healthier, more balanced soil ecosystem.
• Neutralizes Alkaline Soils: The acidified version with elemental sulfur reduces soil pH, allowing plants to access vital nutrients more effectively.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term Benefits

While many soil amendments provide only immediate results, Back To Earth Cotton Burr Blend is designed for lasting impact. Its ability to improve soil structure and replenish organic matter ensures ongoing fertility, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers over time. Unlike straight cotton burr compost, this blended product provides enhanced durability and extended benefits, making it a superior choice for serious gardeners and landscapers.
