OUTCO is a leader in innovative and ecologically friendly grounds maintenance solutions. A cornerstone of this approach is OUTCO BioBlend™ Super D, our enhanced soil improver designed to promote healthy plant growth while minimising environmental impact, enriched with both mushroom compost which contains beneficial microorganisms and water-retaining granules, an improvement over the original OUTCO BioBlend™ and OUTCO BioBlend™ Super.

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 D 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 D 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 D is a 100% organic, peat-free solution. This unique blend combines OUTCO BioBlend™ Super using recycled composted green waste with well-rotted farmyard manure and mushroom compost, together with added water-retaining modules. 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 D offers unique benefits. The mushroom compost adds calcium to the soil and introduces beneficial fungi and bacteria into the compost, enriching the soil’s microbial diversity. The water-retaining granules reduce drought related stress and decrease the watering frequency necessary.
