Why wood?
Nature's Best
The organic properties of wood as a growing additive have been known for a long-time. As part of the natural plant life cycle, fallen trees and branches naturally provide a fertile growing area for future plants. Unlike many of the chemical alternatives that exist, wood produces no dangerous byproducts or harmful side effects. Decomposing wood truly is the way nature intended on feeding future generations of plants.
Why Aged Wood?
The unique properties of the Wolf Mountain Products aged wood produces a finished product that is exceptionally dry and replete with natural minerals that aid growing. Because the wood has sat buried for over 20 years, it has had time to dry and cure enough so that it has reached its optimal stage to strengthen soil profiles. Just some properties of aged wood include:
- Chemical Balance — Wood fines have naturally low pH levels which help to balance out the high pH levels found in Utah's clay soil.
- Water Retention — Because the wood fines have been drying out for several decades, the wood acts like a sponge to absorb moisture during watering and then time-release that moisture into the soil.
- Soil Profile — Wood provides a better balance of minerals to the root structure and allows the plant to grow quicker and fuller.
- Health, Color & Density — The wood fines help reduce soil compaction and create a more substantial root network to cause your plant project to be the envy of everyone.
- Fewer Applications — The wood fines yield up to two years of benefits, so you don't have to worry about the frequent applications associated with most traditional fertilizers.
