Schlegel Poultry Compost

Schlegel Poultry Compost, formerly Cold Springs Farm Compost, has been producing high quality Turkey Litter Compost (TLC) since 1996.


Turkey litter is a blend of turkey manure plus the softwood shavings and straw used as bedding in our turkey barns. After the Schlegel family acquired the business, we made a significant improvement to our TLC: Prior to composting we now add up to a maximum of 25% Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS). This SMS material is a by-product sourced from organic mushroom farms.


We combine SMS with a minimum of 75% Schlegel turkey litter to make our high quality composting feedstock. Blending SMS with turkey litter creates a finished TLC that remains loaded with the phosphorus and other macro and micro-nutrients you have come to expect from pure turkey litter, but with higher organic matter content and increased microbial diversity resulting from the fungal-dominated biology in SMS.


Schlegel Poultry Compost uses a tightly managed aerobic composting system that destroys the pathogens and weed seeds found in raw turkey litter while allowing beneficial microbes to thrive. Our combination of total process and ingredient control has established Schlegel Poultry’s TLC as an excellent source of the nutrients required for organic and specialty crop production.


Dehydrated TLC has recently been added to our Approved Input List for organic crop production. Dried TLC can be screened to size and blended with other materials to meet specific customer requirements – please contact us for further information regarding our dried TLC products.

Give your soil some TLC
________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLC is an excellent source of macro and micro nutrients for organic crop production.
TLC is produced from a mixture of turkey manure, bedding material and spent mushroom substrate - not municipal organic wastes.
Schlegel Poultry Compost's aerobic composting system destroys the pathogens and weed seeds found in raw manure while beneficial microbes multiply and thrive.
Schlegel Poultry Compost is a very cost effective source of plant available phosphorus (P) for organic growers.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why Use Turkey Litter Compost?
Low soil phosphorus is a significant problem for many Organic farms in Ontario.

Schlegel Poultry's composting process concentrates phosphorus while stabilizing organic matter.

TLC feeds soil with:

- Nitrogen
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Boron
- Calcium
- Copper
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Beneficial microbes
- Organic matter
