Organic soil treatment compound and method of making and using
A composition is provided that includes particulates from wood, chaff, hulls, crop compost, biochar, or waste residue, wood or crop ash and biochar, and a nitrogen source from waste residue from gasification processes, food processing waste water or other residual by-products of forest, aquatic, food or feed processing. Ideally, all of the components are environmentally friendly, from natural products, and free of manufactured chemicals.
1. An organic fertilizer, consisting essentially of:
an organic fertilizing mixture having only dried plant-based materials, including by volume 10% wood, 15% wood biochar, and 75% nitrogen source material, wherein the fertilizer is heat pelletized.
2. The fertilizer of claim 1 wherein the wood comprises sawdust or agricultural crop waste.
3. The fertilizer of claim 1 wherein the wood comprises biochar generated by pyrolysis.
4. The fertilizer of claim 1 , wherein minimum raw materials to make Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium (N—P—K) are by volume 10% mint or crop residue, 20% coffee grinds or beans, 20% biochar, 20% sludge, 10% coffee chaff or hulls, and 20% sawdust.
5. A fertilizer, consisting essentially of:
an organic fertilizing compound of only dried plant-based materials, including wood or agricultural crop particulate, wood biochar formed by pyrolysis, and nitrogen source material, the nitrogen source material comprising natural source dried waste by-product from waste water treatment of food, aquatic, or crops or timber processes and/or waste by-products or residual from agricultural bio-energy processes, or a by-product created from food, aquatic, crop, or timber processing, and the nitrogen source material also comprises natural resource crop biomass or food product, wherein the organic fertilizing compound is in a heat pelletized form.
6. The fertilizer of claim 5 wherein the wood biochar comprises biochar generated as a by-product of one of either a timber processing or wood co-generation power plant processing or an agricultural process.
7. A fertilizer of only dried plant-based materials, consisting essentially of:
a fertilizer mixture having only wood or agricultural crop particulate, wood biochar, and nitrogen source material, the fertilizer mixture comprising, by volume, 10% of the wood or crop particulate, 15% of the wood or crop ash and biochar that is formed by pyrolysis, and 75% of the nitrogen source material, the nitrogen source material formed of dried waste by-product or residue, or natural source crop biomass or food product such as coffee beans, chaff or other agricultural, aquatic, and forest by-products, the fertilizer mixture having a heat pelletized form.
8. The fertilizer of claim 7 wherein the nitrogen source material comprises natural source dried waste by-product from waste water treatment of food, aquatic, or crops or timber processes and/or waste by-products or residual from agricultural bio-energy processes, or a by-product created from food, aquatic, crop, or timber processing, and the nitrogen source material also comprises natural resource crop biomass or food product.
