Bioblend™ Super – OUTCO Soil Improver
OUTCO is a leader in innovative and ecologically friendly grounds maintenance solutions. A cornerstone of this approach is OUTCO BioBlend Super™, our unique soil improver designed to promote healthy plant growth while minimising environmental impact, now enriched with mushroom compost which contains beneficial microorganisms.
Introduction
Traditional grounds maintenance practices often rely on chemical fertilisers and peat-based products. These methods can have a negative impact on the environment. Chemical fertilisers risk leaching into waterways, potentially harming aquatic ecosystems. Peat extraction contributes to habitat destruction in sensitive peat bogs. OUTCO BioBlend Super™ offers a sustainable alternative for environmentally conscious clients.
The Problem
OUTCO recognised the need for a grounds maintenance solution that addressed the shortcomings of traditional methods. Chemical fertilisers and peat pose environmental risks, while failing to promote long-term soil health. OUTCO created BioBlend Super™ for our clients, which not only enhances plant growth but also improves soil structure, benefits the environment and ensures that recycled material is put back into the earth rather than creating unnecessary waste.
The Solution
OUTCO BioBlend™ Super is a 100% organic, peat-free solution. This unique blend combines OUTCO BioBlend™ using recycled composted green waste with well-rotted farmyard manure and mushroom compost, all sourced locally within a 15-mile radius. This approach minimises the product’s carbon footprint, whilst the innovative mixing process, utilising a Keenan machine with a two-chamber system, ensures a consistent and efficient blend. As one farmer-producer noted,
“This has been produced in a very sustainable way…with the least carbon footprint possible.”
The Result
OUTCO BioBlend™ Super offers a multitude of benefits. Mushroom compost adds calcium to the soil, especially useful to raise soil pH and beneficial for many vegetables. The process of mushroom cultivation also introduces specific beneficial fungi and bacteria into the soil improver, enriching the soil’s microbial diversity. Unique ecologically minded products such as our BioBlend range (BioBlend™, BioBlend Super™ and BioBlend Super D™) together with our eco-fertiliser innovation are all testament to OUTCO’s ability to deliver grounds maintenance services whilst also making sure that we are bolstering the long term ecology and biodiversity of our client sites.
