<br />· AGRICULTURAL GYPSUM - 1 POUND
<br />· ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT - ABOUT 15% BY VOLUME, SUFFICIENT FOR 3% TO 5% SOIL ORGANIC MATTER ON A DRY WEIGHT
<br />BASIS
<br />ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT:
<br />1. HUMUS MATERIAL SHALL HAVE AN ACID-SOLUBLE ASH CONTENT OF NO LESS THAN 6% AND NO MORE THAN 20%. ORGANIC
<br />MATTER SHALL BE AT LEAST 50% ON A DRY WEIGHT BASIS.
<br />2. THE PH OF THE MATERIAL SHALL BE BETWEEN 6 AND 7.5.
<br />3. THE SALT CONTENT SHALL BE LESS THAN 10 MILLIMHO/CM @ 25° C. ON A SATURATED PASTE EXTRACT.
