Natural Gas Products
Blended Sawdust Mix
We offer a blended sawdust product that is approx. 50% sawdust and 50% gypsum paper. This product works well in free stalls with dairy and horse product.
Paper Bedding
This product is derived from the paper from drywall. It is shredded to 3" squares or less and still has some gypsum residue attached. This product works well in large open pen areas.
Gypsum
Gypsum is available as a soil amendment and is available in bulk trailer loads. Product is pulverized to a powder form. Guaranteed analysis is 23% Calcium and 17% Sulphur. This product is derived from reclaimed wallboard and is approved by the State of Pennsylvania as a non-organic valued product.
-
• Gypsum Improves Compacted Soil
– Gypsum can help break up compacted soil and decrease penetrometer resistance. Combination with organic amendments also helps, especially in preventing return of the compaction.
-
• Gypsum Makes Slightly Wet Soils Easier to Till
– Soils that have been treated with gypsum have a wider range of soil moisture levels where it is safe to till without danger of compaction or deflocculation.
-
• Gypsum Stops Water Runoff and Erosion
– Gypsum improves water infiltration rates into soils and also the hydraulic conductivity of the soil.
-
• Gypsum Increases the Stability of Soil Organic Matter
– Gypsum is a source of calcium which is a major mechanism that binds soil organic matter to clay in soil which gives stability to soil aggregates.
-
• Gypsum Makes Water-Soluble Polymer Soil Conditioners More Effective
– Gypsum complements or even magnifies the beneficial effects of water soluble polymers used as amendments to improve soil structure.
-
• Gypsum Makes Excess Magnesium Non-Toxic
– In soils having unfavorable calcium magnesium ratios, such as serpentine soils, gypsum can create a more favorable ratio.
-
• Gypsum Correct Subsoil Acidity
– Gypsum can improve some acid soils even beyond what time can do for them. Surface crusting can be prevented. Gypsum is now being widely used on acid soils.
-
• Gypsum Can Enhance the Values of Liming
– Addition to soil together with lime increased crop yields. The combination also decreased leaching tosses of potassium and magnesium.
-
• Gypsum Improves Water-Use Efficiency
– Gypsum increases water-use efficiency of crops. In areas and times of drought, this is extremely important. Improved water infiltration rates, improved hydraulic conductivity of soil, better water storage in the soil all lead to deeper rooting and better water-use efficiency. From 25 to 100 percent more water is available in gypsum treated soils than in non-treated soils.
-
• Gypsum Creates Favorable Soil EC
– Gypsum, being readily soluble, results in proper buffered solute concentration (EC) in soil to maintain soil in a flocculated state. It is better environmentally and economically to maintain the needed EC with gypsum than with excess application of fertilizers.
-
• Gypsum Makes it Possible to Efficiently Use Low Quality Irrigation Water
– Use of reclaimed municipal waste water is important for conservation of natural resources. Reclaimed water can be satisfactorily used if amendments, such as gypsum and water-soluble polymers, are also used.
