Biosol Mix for turf
BIOSOL 100% NATURAL ORGANIC
FERTILIZER
Biosol, also known as dry
mycelium, is a by-product from the manufacture of penicillin.
Biosol promotes a healthy balance of microbes, insuring the
long-term green color and health of your turf and plants.
Biosol was developed the same way slow release vitamins were
developed for humans. This slow uniform release mimics the
natural growth cycle of plants, making nutrients more readily
available for root absorption. Biosol has been researched
from around the world and is recognized as the “World’s Best
Fertilizer”.

with Biosol Mix
How does
Biosol Work?
Biosol
promotes the humus formation and soil fertility due to 70%
organic substance. Biosol activates the soil life and
regenerates the soil with a long lasting effect. Higher humus
values, better rooting and vitalization are specific
characteristics of the organic fertilizer.
The
beneficial bacteria and beneficial fungi
of the soil release the nutrients in accordance with the demand
of the plants. The plants are perfectly nourished and there is
little danger of nitrogen leaching.
This unique blend of
nutrients enables Biosol to stimulate root development, allowing
plants of all kinds to fully absorb essential nutrients for
longevity and maximum health.
•All- natural and
environmentally balanced
• Produces healthy plants with
vibrant color and
excellent root structure
•Benefits the entire landscape
•Long lasting and will not
burn any plants
•Holds 2-3 times its weigh in

Fact Sheet
For Landscaping
Biosol Mix promotes a
healthy balance of microbes by insuring quality soil
structure, long-term plant health and plant
growth. Biosol works well in all landscaping and
maintenance environments. Biosol Mix’s slow
uniform release mimics the natural growing cycle of
plants making nutrients more readily available for root
absorption.

concentrations in soil
Increases canopy of tree
and shrubs
Increases the “shear
strength” wear and tear of turf
Reduces fungal diseases

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Biosol
stimulates the micro-organisms in the soil and is used as a
primary and maintenance fertilizer. Biosol will not burn
vegetation when used properly.
Spreading:
Measure the turf area and spread proper amount as evenly as
possible, walking in both directions to achieve the best
coverage
Application
rates: Biosol should be applied at 25-30 lbs per 1000 sq.ft.
for the year. Longer growing seasons may need a second
application. Application rates may be adjusted to fit any
special soil or nutrient requirements. Biosol can be spread with
a conventional broadcast spreader or by hand.

Biosol Mix also contains
sugars. When sugars are broken down by aerobic
conditions, it produces 19x more energy to the plant
than regular aerobic conditions.

"My neighbors
used to feel sorry for me and my pathetic lawn. After a
season of using BIOSOL my neighbor across the street is asking
me for the name of my lawn service."
"Biosol has
consistently given me the results I expect from an Organic
fertilizer both on the golf course and at home."
"I have used Biosol Mix in all
my seeding, revenovation, and erosion control projects for eight
years and have received excellent results" Lawn Care
Contractor Longmont, CO
"Biosol Mix keeps my lawn
green and stress-free throughout the year with just one
application". Homeowner size="2">"Biosol Mix keeps my lawn
green and stress-free throughout the year with just one
application". Homeowner Boulder, CO
"Biosol puts the natural good
dirt back into dirt" Soil Scientist UC Davis
"We never plant anything without Biosol, and every plant that
we've put in the ground comes in strong and beautiful year after
year. In fact, they are the first to bloom in spring and
the last to go to bed in the fall" Homeowner Colorado
The lasting efficiency of Biosol is
particularly advantageous. First year applications should always
be the heaviest. Application rates after the first year may be
reduced.
Turf Makeover- Home Edition 10 Steps to a New Lawn I have
been able to consistently, and easily renovate over 300 existing
lawns with 10 easy steps. The process is done without
expensive turf removal equipment, without rototilling in compost
mix and can usually be completed in several hours.
This
renovation process can be done whether you have to fill in any
thin spots or if you have to reseed a lawn that may have been
destroyed by fungus, drought stress or poor maintenance
practices.
1. Decide what needs to be changed
Landscape re-do, new patio, flower bed. Make sure you have
not used a
pre-emergent on your lawn. It will keep seeds from germinating
and hinder any grass growth.
2.
Fix the problem(s)
What caused the turf to be in the
shape it is in? Was it poor sprinkler coverage, grub
infestations, fungus infection, to much shade for the type
of grass, or just tired old turf.
3. Kill out
any unwanted grass and vegetation
Do not use a
soil sterilant that will keep plants from growing for a year.
Just scraping it off will not work. The roots will
re-establish.
4. Mark the sprinkler heads
I use
flour. Every one has flour and it is biodegradable. Mow the lawn
short.
5. Trash the lawn with an aerator
This is when a young person comes in handy to handle the
equipment. Make sure the lawn is moist so you can pull the best
plugs possible. Go over the lawn 10-15 times with the
aerator. The edges will be the most difficult to do. You may
have to aerate the stressed areas and the dog paths more.
6. Power rake the lawn
You
want the power rake to nick the top of the soil (1/4 in.), not
digging up excessive thatch. Breaking the crust of the soil will
provide excellent seed to soil contact. Power raking will
also break up the aeration plugs and it will look like you have
top dressed the lawn.
7. Apply
25 lbs/1000
sq. ft.of Biosol mix organic fertilizer. Biosol Mix has carbon,
sugars, beneficial bacteria, beneficial fungi and a 7-2-3-
N-P-K.
www.biosolusa.com.
½ lbs/1000 sq. ft. of granular
Mycoapply Mycorrhizae, a root fungus that will increase the root
structure 100%-1000%.
5 lbs/1000 sq.ft. of Menefee Humate, a high
carbon soil conditioner.
3 lbs/1000 of a starter fertilizer.(16-16-16 will
work) This application will cover the nitrogen needs for
the grass for the first 3 weeks as it starts to grow.
The Biosol Mix will start releasing in 2-3 weeks
to balance out the nutrient needs of the turf.
8. Choose the right type of seed from
the right seed company
If you buy your seed
from a box store then ignore all of the above and follow
their recommendations. Good luck!
The right
type of seed from the right seed company will make you
look good and cost you less in the long run.
The newest
varieties of seed are much more drought tolerant,
disease resistant, and darker of color than the seeds
from 5 years ago.
Apply the
seed with a broadcast spreader at double the
application rate. Application rate is
approximately 7-8 lbs/1000 sq.ft. for blue grass and up
to 15 lbs/1000 sq.ft. for tall fescue. By doubling
the application rate you can make up for the loss of
seed that will get caught up in the thatch layer and
will not germinate. The seed must come in contact with
the soil for germination. It will take 10 days to
2 weeks for blue grass and tall fescue seed to start
germinating and rye grass will germinate in 4-7 days,
try not to broadcast seed into the flower and garden
beds where it is not desirable.
Four
different types of turf grass were used to over seed
this lawn. Be consistent with your seed mixes
9. Water
frequently and lightly for 28 days
Any puddling of
the water will separate the seed from the soil. You do not
need to water like you do with sod. The existing turf and
the thatch layer will hold a lot of moisture through-out the
day. You can start cutting back the water in 2 weeks.
Mow the lawn with your normal schedule. You can shut off
the water for a day so the grass will dry. Mow at 2 1/2-3 inches
in height.
10. Learn to sit back and enjoy A lawn
reseeded with the newest varieties of turf grasses will provide
years of enjoyment.

Biosol
feeds plants and is responsible for higher crop yields
in a natural way. Biosol improves soil humas
content,makes plants more disease resistant, increases
the health of the soil,strengthens microbial processes,
increases the rooting and improves the biological
quality and taste of food. Many of these qualities were
approved in practice. All these previously mentioned
facts are scientifically proven.
