Bay State Fertilizer
Massachusetts Water Resources Authority
|
Bay State Fertilizer meets all state and federal standards for biosolids (sludge-derived) fertilizer, including the strictest limits on metals.
Bay State Fertilizer benefits lawns and gardens in several ways.
Like compost, Bay State Fertilizer adds organic matter to the soil, helping
to improve its texture and moisture-holding capacity. Unlike compost, however,
Bay State Fertilizer is a significant source of nutrients and can be easily
applied to lawns using conventional spreaders.
Bay State Fertilizer is purchased wholesale by golf courses and landscapers
throughout New England and has been available locally through garden centers
and nurseries since 1995. Many communities within the MWRA sewerage district
use the fertilizer on their parks, athletic fields, and municipal landscaping.
