Premium Plant Compost
Ormanica™ (1-0.5-0.5) is an all-natural, low-odor, non-compacting premium plant compost, produced through a proprietary process using earthworms, vegetable matter, agricultural-grade mulch, and beneficial bacteria. This method creates small, uniform particles that are easy to apply, with their small size and large surface area ensuring rapid breakdown and quick nutrient release.
• More cost effective than peat and richer in nutrients than compost produced by other methods
• Fully composted, eliminating the need for sterilization. Contains no animal waste
• Rich in microbial life, which diversifies the soil microbial community
• Improves and sustains soil physical properties
• Enhances the availability of plant nutrients – increases CEC
• Helps maintain soil moisture for improved germination, root initiation, seedling growth and development
• Provides faster turf establishment and green-up

Renovation of compacted turf in conjunction with aerification for greens and tees, around soccer goalmouths and on sports fields: Add 5% by volume to topdressing sand or broadcast after aerification at the topdressing rate.
Topdressing: Add Ormanica at a rate of 10 - 12 lb. per 1,000 ft2 (435 - 525 lb./acre) in the fall and spring as a top-dressing for golf, sports turf and lawns.
Seeding, re-seeding and over-seeding: Use as a mulch on top of seed. Apply 10 - 25 lb. per 1,000 ft2 (435 - 1,085 lb./acre) over entire area to be seeded.
Divot-mixes, green sand, etc: Blend 50 - 150 lb. of Ormanica with 1 ton of sand.
Organic amendment (alternative to peat) for sand based root zone mixes: Ormanica can meet the USGA guidelines for use as an alternative to peat in golf greens construction. Final blends will depend on a number of factors including the physics of the sand selected, however, previous testing has indicated that a 95:5 blend by volume should provide adequate moisture retention without compromising air porosity and drainage.
To meet USGA guidelines, blend Ormanica with sand at 95:5 to 90:10 ratio of Ormanica:sand for the desired root zone mix.
