WHEN PETS MUNCH ON CHEMICALLY TREATED LAWN GRASS THEIR HEALTH IS AT RISK

Synthetic lawn chemicals do not provide essential  nutrients necessary for healthy lawn and turf grass growth. In fact, lawn chemical, including chemical fertilizers, can kill soil biomass, deplete the soil and, as a result, inhibit healthy grass growth. Conversely, organic fertilizers stimulate soil biomass and promote healthy root and grass growth. In addition, organic fertilizers Improve soil porosity, drainage and aeration, reduce compaction and improve the water holding capacity of the soil thereby helping grass resist drought. One estimate indicates that a 5% increase in organic matter quadruples the soils ability to hold and store water.

GUIDELINES FOR GROWING A HEALTHY, PEST RESISTANT, WEED FREE LAWN
Use a high quality organic fertilizer two to three times per season.
Avoid cutting more than one third of the grass blade in any one mowing.
Use a high quality thatch degrader at least once per season.
Leave law clipping on the lawn - they can provide nutrients to the soil.
Provide the lawn with at least 1 inch of water / week.
  Apply water in early morning before midday.
  Twice a year,  the first cut in the spring and the last cut in the fall, cut to a height of 2 inches. The spring cut is intended to remove winter fungus and the fall cut is intended to prevent or limit the establishment of fungus during the winter. Typically, tall grass is more stress tolerant, has a larger root structure, which increases uptake of water and nutrients and provide shade which limits or prevents weed growth.

WHAT IS CBLC
CBLC is a super concentrated, premium quality organic fertilizer for seasonal lawn and turf grass care. CBLC is formulated with complex carbohydrates, macro and micro nutrients, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, vitamins and minerals. It also contains a variety of natural substances for soil and plant improvement. CBLC is 100% dispersible in water and can be soil or foliar applied throughout the season without causing leaf burn.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Physical state: Liquid
Odor and appearance: Dark brown
Specific gravity (20 deg. C):  7.6
pH:  6.23
Evaporation rate (Water = 1):  10
% Volatile by volume:  7.1
Solubility in water:  99.9%
Boiling point:  89 deg. C
Freezing point:  1 deg. C
Stability:  2 years (Min) under proper storage conditions.
Weight:  11.9 Lbs. / Gal.

CBLC can provide quick results along with sustained color. Typically, two applications per season will maintain most lawns at above average condition. If you desire a very high quality lawn, 3 to 4 applications of CBLC may be required. Typically, lawns that are conditioned with CBLC are thicker, greener, more pest resistant and require less watering than chemically treated lawns.

BENEFITS
Environmentally safe and not harmful to animals, plants & humans.
Improved root development and uniform growth.
Promotes early vigor and improved plant health.
Promotes residual color and density with slow even growth in a wide range of soil types and pH.
Stimulates indigenous soil microbes.
Aids in rooting, improves stress tolerance and disease management.
Suppresses weed growth.
Accelerated maturity.
Contains macro and micronutrients to buffer salts and improve soil nutrient holding capacity.
Provides a balanced carbon to nitrogen ratio for continuous nutrient availability and replacement of organic matter.
Aids in preventing disease associated with numerous fungi.
Ideal for use around sensitive environmental areas i.e. wetlands, streams and lakes.
Enhances the wear and stress tolerance of turf.
Improves tolerance to winter and summer stress conditions.
Provides protection against pathogens that attack germinating seeds and emerging seedlings.
Ideal for use on new turf or during renovation and over seeding.
Easy to use and simple to clean up with water.  

SEASONAL LAWN MAINTENANCE
Generally, by late July, chemically treated lawns have depleted their nutrient reserves and, as a result, begin to develop brown in patches. This can be avoided by using CBLC. In the fall when your lawn is going dormant it requires nutrients to survive the winter. Generally, a proper fall conditioning with CBLC will ensure a green lawn in early spring.

Table 1.  TYPICAL APPLICATION RATES / 1000 SQ. FT.

* Optional

MIXING:
CBLC is highly concentrated and must be diluted in water.
First determine the approximate volume of water you expect to apply per 1000 square feet.
Then, mix the solution based on that volume.  Example:
A lawn in good condition requires 6 to 10 oz. CBLC per 1000 sq. ft.
Therefore, if you intend to apply 5 gallons water per 1000 sq. ft., you would mix 6 to 10 oz. CBLC per 5 gallons water.

NOTE: Over application can be a benefit - CBLC does not burn grass, flowers, trees etc.  

TYPICAL APPLICATION INTERVAL
1. Apply at initial growth stage - Repeat mid summer or as required.
2. Apply after periods of drought.
3. Apply at end of season to increase resistance to winter kill and limit fungal growth.

APPLICATION NOTE
Increasing application rate and frequency can provide additional benefits. Avoid pesticide applications within 48 hours of applying product. Best applied in the early morning, evening or on a cloudy day. 

APPLICATION METHODS
Apply with a conventional sprayer, hand sprayer, back pack sprayer, garden hose sprayer or through the irrigation system.

NOTE:
Application rates and intervals may vary with environmental conditions, type of soil and grass and results required.

SAFETY
CBLC is produced in accordance with NOSB (National Organic Standards Board) guidelines. The materials used in the production process are derived from naturally occurring and sustainable sources and are consistent with organic principals and the National List of Allowed Substances. CBLC does NOT contain synthetic chemicals, animal components, animal byproducts, manure or manure byproducts. CBLC is environmentally safe and is not harmful to animals, plants and humans.

COMPLIANCE
Fully complies with EPA Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) and the rules, orders and regulations promulgated there under including:
a) Sections 4, 5, 6 & 7; Title 40 Chapter 1, 707.20 thru 707.75;
b) 40 CFR Sections 704.3. 710.2(e) and 720.3(c); and
c) Sections 5 and 13, reference 42FR64583

Now with the draught we have no rain we lost a lot of green area from heat stress and I think a lack of nutrients. I am convinced that this product is very good. please send 2 x 5 gallon pails to this address.   Northwest Hyd 358 ... Rd Warren, Ohio 44481   Thanks Butch   (Original document on file at EcoChem)   ----Original Message---- From: Paula To: Ecochem Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 5:22 PM Subject: EcoChem Product Order CBLC Thanks very much for your quick answer. Here’s our experience with EcoChem’s CBLC: In the Fall of 2002 we had fescue turf installed in our front yard in San Diego, California, and had a large, secondary yard hydro seeded. Whether it was due to the quality of the seed, the density, weather or other factors, the hydro seeded area was not taking root.  Because that area was adjacent to the lush turf it looked even worse. We have Labrador retrievers who “graze” on our grass, so we don’t use chemical growth stimulants or fertilizers on anything.  After extensive Internet searches for animal-safe, environmentally friendly options, we discovered EcoChem’s CBLC Lawn & Turf Conditioner.  As a test, we applied it as directed to a 100 square foot patch of unproductive seeded area that adjoined the very healthy turf. In just a few days the test area grew beautiful fescue. Within 2-3 weeks, you couldn’t see any difference between the formerly barren hydro seeded test area and the adjacent, well established, fescue turf. Since that time, we have used CBLC seasonally, for our residence as well as our rental properties, and we swear by it. We get year ‘round compliments on our green and healthy lawns. Ben and Paula ........., San Diego, California, Many thanks for all your help, Judy....

I live in the Maritimes temperature Is from 2 low and 18 high.   Question 1: Is now a good time to start using CBLC or is it better to wait for more green to show and warmer temperatures ? Question 2 : When is it a good time to spead lime, is  early spring ok ? Thank you for your time  PG (Original document on file at EcoChem)
