Organic Matter Supplements the Health of Your Soil

Better Lawns with Turf King’s Concentrated Leaf Compost with Wood Ash

Leaf Compost

We are pleased to be offering an organic material application, a new pelletized material that gives the benefits of top dressing without the clumps of material smothering the grass. We believe it to be the one of the most environmentally sound ways to keep lawn soft, lush, safe, healthy and green.
Over time, your lawn’s soil can become tired and infertile. Turf King’s Leaf Compost dressing program – a fortified mix of leaf compost and wood ash and other micro-nutrients – is designed to reintroduce beneficial nutrients to restore the health of your lawn’s soil.

Benefits provided to Turf by Organic Matter-All the benefits of added Organic Matter. Our Leaf Compost and Wood Ash Dressing is derived from composted organic matter and is easy to apply with a fertilizer spreader.
  • Organic matter is known to increase soil water-holding capacity, resulting in increased drought tolerance and higher irrigation efficiency.
  • Organic matter also acts as a food source for increased microbial activity. This reduces thatch problems.
  • Boosting Organic matter by 1% can increase drought tolerance by 50%.
  • Organic matter increases soil nutrient holding capacity, maximizing plant nutrient uptake.
  • Organic matter acts as a chelator (a holder) of nutrients, holding them in the root zone when otherwise they would be leached from the soil.
  • A healthier lawn resisting pests and disease results from improved soil
