Are cotton burrs a good soil amendment?
Yes! Cotton burrs are very rich in protein and have nearly twice the nutrient values of normal manures. Once fully decomposed, cotton burrs are a powerful supply of nutrients and nitrogen available to the plants. Cotton burrs also break-up tight clay based soils, improve moisture retention in sandy soils, encourage mycorrhizal interaction with root systems, and does not tie up nitrogen or other nutrients in the soil. The fully decomposed cotton burrs used in SBS compost have no chemicals, weeds or insects and are ecologically friendly.
