Questions and Answers

1. Application Equipment Clarification:

Could you please provide details on the specific equipment used for the application of the pelletized soil amendments? Understanding this will help us assess whether pelletizing is necessary or if a regular mixed form could be equally effective and more cost-efficient.

Application will utilize at tractor-mounted dispenser and/or UAS method, therefore pelletizing is necessary.

2. Alternative Approach:

Instead of adhering strictly to the specified ingredients list, could we explore conducting a soil test at the project site first? By analyzing the soil composition and specific deficiencies, we can then customize a soil amendment blend that precisely meets the site's needs. This approach has the potential to reduce costs and optimize the effectiveness of the soil restoration efforts.

A soil test to determine blend is required by the

PR, the ingredient list does not need to be strictly adhered to, but all ingredients must be naturally-sourced and 100% certified organic.

3. Cost Considerations:

Given the application rate specified

(approximately 4 yards per acre), it appears that the project site may cover less than 20 acres.

For such a small area and order size, exploring alternatives could potentially reduce costs significantly. I believe we could efficiently manage the application with minimal expense for this scale.
