R. C. W. (Ramial Chipped Wood)
R.C.W. (Ramial Chipped Wood) is a mixture of small limbs, twigs and branches of hardwoods. It is used for mulching, fertilizing, and soil enrichment. It is processed into small pieces; the resulting product has a high ratio of cambium to cellulose and is higher in nutrients. Researches into forest soils and ecosystems led to recognition of value of this material.

Primary aim of RCW is to get closer to agronomic status of forest soil by decomposing rapidly to free up humus and improve soil structure (clay-humus complex). Its life expectancy is 6 to 18 months.

- Develops an airy and spongy soil that holds an ideal amount of water. - Keeps soil loose and moist. - Decreases irrigation water; saves water, time and money. |
 |
- Protects soil from thermal shocks, drying and drought. - Regulates soil temperature. - Ensures moisture balance. |
 |
- Avoids topsoil erosion. - Resists evaporation and compaction. |
 |
- Enhances rooting, nutrition and growth. - Contains a long-term source of fertility. - It can serve as a cure for depleted and eroded soils. |
Specific indications for use :
- Implement to properly leveled, weed-free area.
- Spread 10 - 20 cm (100 to 200 litres / m²) around to the plants with a fork.
