Conventionally Grown Potatoes

Organically Grown Potatoes Using Honification

HONIFICATION™

The latest method of using Natural Minerals to reduce fertilizer costs while improving the environment.
The Solution is Simple: Blend -Raw Cattle Manure and/or Chicken Manure (or a combination)with Heart Of Nature’s “Super Sulfur/Potash”

Results

• Reduces the pH from an average of 8.9 to an average of 6.59* (pH can be “fine tuned” by adjusting application rates and/or time length of compost cycle)
• Absorbs the free Ammonia (odor) and converts/retains in the mix Ammonium ions, which can convert usable Nitrogen to the plant. See attached lab reports that show 6.87 lbs/ton increased to 9.44lbs/ton, or a 38% increase. This process also eliminates the strong odor of raw manure and results in a very mild “rich soil” smell.
• Retains the Carbon in the mix by eliminating the “gassing off” of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. See the attached Wallace Lab reports showing the retained Carbon, and note the respirometery differences from 6.4 to 2.5 (which is stable) and the dramatic “Biologically available C” reduction from 38.0 to 2.5 (which becomes a stable compost) as indicated on the Soil control Lab reports.
• Pathogens “Fecal Coliform” and “Salmonella” pass the test for mature compost (see Soil Control Lab results).

2.) You have an excellent neutral pH product that provides adequate pre-plant or supplemental plant needs at a cost lower than using common inorganic fertilizers (see attached “Comparative Economic Values of Soil Additives as of February 2008”). “Super Sulfur/Potash” is a naturally mined product that is approved for Organic Crop Production under 7 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 205 USDA National Organic Program.

Summary

* application rates, NPK levels, pH levels and test results will vary based upon moisture, material content and other conditions. Each user must conduct their own trials and tests for ideal results.

Manure Blend Lab Result Info

When you blend “Super Sulfur/Potash” with your manure source, your resultant lab tests will show (on average):

• 64% increase in Nitrogen
• 79% increase in Potassium
• 4% increase in Iron
• 590% increase in Sulfur
• 22% reduction in pH

We consistently make these types of increases in the values of plant foods, along with the reduction of pH which:

• allows plants to uptake more nutrients
• provides ideal environment for beneficial micro-organisms to flourish

Our process captures the Nitrogen from the ammonia gas, thus reducing ammonia from entering the atmosphere (green gas), a 64% reduction.

We also capture 76% of the carbon-dioxide gas from entering the atmosphere, thus retaining the carbon in the manure as a food source for the beneficial micro-organisms.

The “Air Quality” effects of this process make it not only environmentally friendly, but carbon credits could also be accrued by the user, as manure is a major source of gases that are “responsible for global warming”. Your lab results of composting “with and without” this process will clearly show how many pounds of carbons are prevented from emitting into the atmosphere, as you will see the retained carbons in each lab analysis you take.

The ammonia gases are also the source of the pungent odor coming from the manure, so your resultant compost will be rich with Nitrogen, but almost no ammonia odors. You can literally hold this Manure Blend up to your nose within 48 hours of blending, and it smells like rich minerals instead of manure.
