Cascade Soil-Aid is a precomposted, finely-ground and nitrogen-processed forest bark. It has FOUR inherent advantages over most soil conditioners. (1) It's ready to apply-no preparation! This cuts your application costs. (2) Nitrogen processing and composting means that it will not draw out exist- ing supplies of nitrogen, as most inert condition- ers do. (3) Bark insulates against both extremes in temperature and even acts as a cushion in heavy traffic areas. (4) Porous qualities absorb and hold moisture up around thirsty roots, thus saving water. Saves application time NOW...saves mainte- nance work later. FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION & FREE SAMPLE CONTACT...
