Biological Benefits:

• Organic additions (compost, biochar) feed soil microbes, enhancing nutrient cycling and decomposition of organic inputs like grass clippings and leaves.
• Promote proliferation of beneficial soil microorganisms, supporting healthy microbe populations for efficient nutrient delivery.

Physical Benefits:

• Improve soil structure, enhancing water infiltration, aeration, and root/shoot growth.
• Increase water-holding capacity, improving irrigation efficiency and reducing dry spots.
• Alleviate soil compaction by reducing bulk density.

Chemical Benefits:

• Biochar and organic matter increase nutrient exchange sites, retaining more nutrients in the root zone and minimizing leaching.
• Non-organic components (methylene urea, ammonium sulfate, urea) provide immediate and sustained nutrient release, with microbial activity enhancing nitrogen delivery efficiency.

Climatic Benefits:

• Organic additions sequester carbon in soil, the second-largest carbon reservoir after oceans.
• Form stable humus, boosting soil fertility, darkening soil color, and reducing atmospheric CO2.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Organic matter releases nutrients over time and improves long-term nutrient-holding capacity.
• Hybrid fertilizer combines slow-release (methylene urea) and fast-release (ammonium sulfate, urea) components for immediate turf color/growth boost lasting over 8 weeks, with reduced leaching risks.

Overall Turf Health:

• Curb Appeal’s hybrid organic-inorganic fertilizer synergizes compost, biochar, and non-organic elements for a vibrant, resilient lawn through consistent, lower-rate applications, optimizing soil and turf health.

In addition to nitrogen, all Curb Appeal fertilizers include gypsum, which can aid in reducing sodium levels in the rootzone and can enhance soil structure as well, while also providing the plant nutrients calcium and sulfur. Potassium is delivered as potassium sulfate as opposed to the commonly used potassium chloride.  Potassium sulfate has a lower salt index than potassium chloride and avoids any concern of harming chloride sensitive plants. Phosphorus, if present, is delivered as monoammonium phosphate (MAP), a highly soluble and available form of phosphorus. Each bag of Curb Appeal also includes micronutrients. Many soils are low in micronutrients. Although the plant growth response to micronutrients isn’t always readily apparent, the enhanced soil health and health of microorganism populations is proven.
