MBF Brown Gold Compost is a valuable supplement for any farming operation and has been used to supply needed nutrients for crop growth. Brown Gold compost not only supplies many nutrients for crop production, including micronutrients, but they are also valuable sources of organic matter. ITIL-F Increasing soil organic matter improves soil structure or tilt, increases the water-holding capacity of coarse-textured sandy soil, improves drainage in fine-textured clay soil, provides a source of slow release nutrients, reduces soil erosion, and promotes growth of earthworms and other beneficial soil organisms. H19-307 Most vegetable crops return small amounts of crop residue to the soil, so manure, compost, and other organic amendments helps to maintain soil organic matter level.
Brown Gold Compost as Mulch- In nature we see plants and trees drop leaves that accumulate at their bases. Every year, a new layer is added while the old layers start to decompose. This is leaf mold and it is a form of compost. What nature is doing is providing a protective layer over the roots of plants. This layer of vegetative material protects the bare soil during the summer months by reducing soil temperature, suppressing weed growth and reducing soil moisture loss. Our compost can do the same thing in our gardens and landscapes.
Soil Amendment- We have already discussed about how compost helps soil, especially sandy and clay soil. When starting a new garden, soil amending is recommended before you plant. It is so much easier to add compost earlier than it is after the garden has been planted. Cover the garden area with 3 to 4 inches of compost and till it into the top six inches of the soil. If your garden is already established and you want to incorporate compost deeply into the soil, your options are limited.
Compost Tea- An old-fashioned way of providing liquid fertilizer for plants is to brew compost tea. Similar to manure tea, compost tea gives your plants a good dose of nutrients. Compost tea works especially well for providing nutrients to new transplants and young seedlings. To make compost tea, fill a burlap sack or an old pillow case with finished compost and secure the open end. Place in a tub, barrel, or watering can filled with water. Agitate for a few minutes and then let it keep for a few days. Water will leech out nutrients from the compost and the mixture will take on the color of tea. Spray or pour compost tea on and around plants. You can use the bag of compost for several batches. Afterwards, simply empty the bag’s contents onto the garden.

Mode of Action

The organic acid present in brown gold makes plant root more permeable by improving uptake capacity of water and nutrients. It also dissolves minerals within soil and makes them available for plant roots. The physico-chemical function that promotes good soil structure, thereby improves tilth, aeration and retention of moisture.

Benefits

  • Improves soil texture.
  • Reduces soil erosion.
  • Increases water holding capacity of soil so reduces the water requirement.
  • Allows proper percolation of water.
  • Improves aeration of soil.
  • Allows faster & good germination of seeds.
  • Drastic increase in crop production.
  • Increases disease and pest resistance power of plants.
  • Application of Brown Gold neutralizes pH of both acidic & alkaline soil within few years.
  • It is useful for gardens, potted plants, vegetables & home yards, green house, playhouse, nurseries.
  • Repeated use of Brown Gold increases water holding capacity making up to 1″ rain – 6″ rain.
