Back To Earth "ES"composted cotton burrs with expanded shale

Available in 1.5 cu ft bags.

Back to Earth Soil Builder is a 100% organic soil builder consisting of composted cotton burrs, a byproduct of the ginning process, properly blended with expanded shale. This product contains no chemicals, weeds, insects, or harmful pathogens. Soils low in organic matter and humus or with poor tilth and structure cannot be rejuvenated with chemical fertilizers. Back to Earth Soil Builder can quickly start improvement of such soils, since it begins to function immediately, restoring vital organic matter and humus to soils, regardless of soil conditions. Expanded shale has thousands of tiny pores that quickly absorb moisture and slowly release it into your soil. Back to Earth is an ideal general purpose soil builder for use in sandy soils, while loosening tight clay soils. For best results use as directed.
