Insufficient information is available regarding the first year availability of nutrients in this material. The nutrient availability reported here is therefore the TOTAL nutrients in the material.
Samples submitted prior to 2016 reported an estimated value rather than total nutrient levels. Please contact me if you have any questions. Kristin A. Hicks 7/13/2017 3:29 PM
Agronomist's Comments:
Reprogramming of the laboratory-information-management system that makes this report possible is being funded
through a grant from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission.
Thank you for using agronomic services to manage nutrients and safeguard environmental quality.

* ppm = parts per million; S = siemens; mS = millisiemens; T = trace (<0.005 lb/unit); EC = electrical conductivity; CCE = calcium carbonate equivalence; ALE = agricultural lime
equivalence; pH = acidity or basicity; DM% = % dry matter [for semi-solid and solid waste samples, this value facilitates conversion of dry-basis concentrations (ppm) back to wet-basis of
original sample]; C:N ratio = carbon:nitrogen ratio BD = Bulk Density.
Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer application and
preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are analyzed as received; all other
wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of application you specify and reflect the fact that
only 40-60% of the nitrogen and 70-100% of other nutrients become available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become available.

Dear Mr. Kris Riddle,
Using the process of passing a weighed, dried compost sample through a ¼ inch screen, I have identified
all that is left on the screen is small sticks, small stones and a bit of clay soil- all of which are organic
materials. There is no inert material present in our compost product. With these results, I have
determined the dry weight percentage of foreign matter content to be less than 1%.
Thank you so much and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Casara Logan

* The electrical conductivity is high in this sample. If using this material in a container substrate mix, take this property into consideration. High EC can indicate good fertilizer value. High
EC can also lead to root damage especially when the media is allowed to dry out. * Insufficient information is available regarding the first year availability of nutrients in this material. The
nutrient availability reported here is therefore the TOTAL nutrients in the material. Samples submitted prior to May 16, 2016 report an estimated value rather than total nutrient levels. Please
contact me if you have any questions. Hunter G. Landis 9/13/2016 11:39 AM
Agronomist's Comments:
Reprogramming of the laboratory-information-management system that makes this report possible is being funded
through a grant from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission.
Thank you for using agronomic services to manage nutrients and safeguard environmental quality.

* ppm = parts per million; S = siemens; mS = millisiemens; T = trace (<0.005 lb/unit); EC = electrical conductivity; CCE = calcium carbonate equivalence; ALE = agricultural lime
equivalence; pH = acidity or basicity; DM% = % dry matter [for semi-solid and solid waste samples, this value facilitates conversion of dry-basis concentrations (ppm) back to wet-basis of
original sample]; C:N ratio = carbon:nitrogen ratio.
Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer application and
preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are analyzed as received; all other
wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of application you specify and reflect the fact that
only 40-60% of the nitrogen and 70-100% of other nutrients become available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become available.

Dear Tony Gallagher,
Using the process of passing a weighed, dried compost sample through a ¼ inch screen, I have identified
all that is left on the screen is small sticks, small stones and a bit of clay soil- all of which are organic
materials. There is no inert material present in our compost product. With these results, I have
determined the dry weight percentage of foreign matter content to be less than 1%.
Thank you so much and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at [phone].

Sincerely,

Casara Logan
