Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment?<br />
Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km<br />
that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and<br />
hay fields are good options.<br />
Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing<br />
soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow<br />
soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination.<br />
Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two<br />
major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping<br />
process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment<br />
facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good<br />
source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating<br />
Celgrow into their soil.<br />
If interested, please contact Len Hewat<br />
