Craig, I had a guy ask me recently if Symbex would aid in the breakdown of leaves that were blown off the lawn of the estate he works at. His goal is to blow them just into the woods then spray them where they land.

My only concern is that in the absence of a large pile (to hold heat) & green grass clippings (or other N source) the piles might be too cool to cook down.

If you think that Symbex/Symbrew would help I'll give him your email address.

HI STEVE--A thought crossed my mind--9 year ago when i started with Agro-k products we had put down 13-14 inch of leaves not composted on a field we were going to use for sweet corn in the spring i call the main office because i had that thought]-- I sprayed symbex down at 4 oz to the gallon of water--but the leave were so deep the disk wouldnt touch them---my next though was im screwed i called the office they said wait 10days hit it again --with in a month they had roted enough the disk start to bust them up --were not heat were talk rot like cheese mold apple rot--so if he spray the area blows the leave on and sprays again and then one more and with a little rain in between by spring i bet there gone---because in sight of 2 1/2 months there was very little left of the leaves and we put silver queen sweet corn and it did well the rest is history im not afraid to heavy matter on any field---craig

Craig is forgetting that Symbex and molasses over his suggestions bailed me out of the same situation my first year. This can be relative because it was a great excess of leaves that got caught with an early snow in the fall my first year. They did not get fall tilling. There was a poor cover crop. A last minute December effort was made to grow one. My applications, of Symbex, were begining like about March the 25th and again April 15th with over tilling to keep the oxygen up. Yes the worms suffered but many were at that time and soil temperature deeper than the bite, of the tiller.

The result was pleasing and my first year 710 was grown following this rather difficult situation. I truthfully doubted his Symbex would work to that degree of success.
