[USCC] Compost salts and grass

[Glass, Steve J.]

Hi, Ron -

It's been a while!

We've done new grass in parks, golf courses and highways with our biosolids compost (>10 mmho/cm in saturated paste) for years.  Call Greg Baker at (505) 827-2780 or Joe Bailey at (505) 205-5721 for details.

Subject: [USCC] Compost salts and grass

Hello Compost World,

Has anyone out there had any experience with using compost to establish turf
(soil inc) with a compost possessing a salt content of 5-10 dS/m in arid
conditions (less than 10-15" rain)? 

Did you experience any seed establishment problems? Were you able to
dissipate the salts?

Thanks,
Ron
