About the soil

Is this the soil we have? (Yes, it is Skyrocket.)

skyrocket

It has a small amount of information on the analysis of the soil. i noticed we are supposed to mix it with existing soil, it seems.

Here's what it says from the Comox Valley Regional District website:

Skyrocket Compost

"SkyRocket has been screened to remove excess wood waste and tested for pathogens, nutrient value, moisture, pH and metals content. Test results meet the stringent Class ‘A’ requirements of the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation of the Provincial Environment Ministry.

SkyRocket has been used in land reclamation and slope stabilization projects, tree plantings by the Ministry of Transportation, and has been applied to enrich and amend soils on Vancouver Island.

Use of the product

SkyRocket is ideal for use in large scale landscaping and planting projects and can also be used for residential landscaping, orchards, flower gardens and lawns.

Due to nutrient levels in this product, SkyRocket should be used as a soil conditioner or supplement, rather than as a topsoil or fertilizer. It can be applied annually or as recommended by soil analysis. As when using any manure product, hands should be washed after applying or handling the product."
