Improves Soil
Soil is made up of minerals
(45%*),
air (25%), water (25%), and organic matter (5%). The only
element we can manipulate in soil, without causing adverse
affects, is the percentage of organic matter.
*all percentages are approximate

Conserves Water
By increasing organic matter we
increase the soil's moisture holding capacity, loosen hard
soils and help reduce
temperature fluctuations. Saving water saves money and helps
conserve one of the planet's most precious resources.

Promotes Healthy
Plant Growth
Sunland Soil Conditioner also
makes a significant improvement in the soil environment so
that it can better support beneficial organisms such as earth
worms, mycorrhizal
fungi and bacteria. The mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic
relationship with plant roots, helping them absorb nutrients
more efficiently.
Improving soil supports the balance of nature that supports
healthy plant growth.

You can use Sunland Soil Conditioner with
confidence knowing it is 100% natural and 100% safe for
you and your family. It is made from cotton gin waste (plant
parts that remain after the cotton fiber has been removed),
so in addition to helping your soil, you’re part
of an important recycling function.
A
Word About Organics
The word organic has several
meanings and is very often misused and/or misunderstood.
In the most basic sense, organic simply means a carbon-based
element. Some people think organic means
‘natural” or “without chemicals” when,
in fact, there are many organic chemicals that occur naturally!
or-gan-ic adj.
1. Of, retaining to, or derived from living organisms:
organic matter.
2. affecting a bodily organ: an organic disease.
3. involving the use of fertilizers or pesticides that
are strictly of animal or vegetable origin. |

We recommend Sunland Soil Conditioner for Organic
Gardening because it is fully composted and free of any harmful
chemicals.
Even though the cotton plants were not fed with organic fertilizer
and were possibly sprayed with pesticide, Sunland Soil Conditioner
has been through a carefully monitored composting cycle that
generates temperatures high enough to kill weed seeds and disease
organisms as well as to decompose any chemical that may have
been applied to the plant. This process breaks down the material
to it’s most basic elemental components, thus rendering
it completely safe and 100% natural, organic material.
Flaked sulphur is added during composting, making our product
a more stable acidifying component than other soil conditioners
which have been subjected to the typical sulphuric acid drench.
There is even some nutritional advantage from the fertilizer
that was applied to the cotton crop and is still present in the
finished product!
