Sun Bulb Partners with Citrus Grower to Compost Urban Plant Debris

As part of our continuing effort to leave the world better than we found it, Sun Bulb Company, Inc. is now partnering with a local citrus grower to compost urban plant debris (CUPD). Composting is nature’s way of recycling and is a key factor for sustainability.

Here’s how it works:

Citrus growers farm their land every year. Over time, the turning of the crop depletes the nutrients in the soil. So, we drop off our plant waste – plant waste that is full of fertilizer from our well-tended plants.

The citrus grower uses this plant waste as a major component in his compost mix.

What makes this compost mix so great?

Microbes (a beneficial soil bacteria) in our plant waste re-nourish the old crop soil – they infuse the soil with more beneficial microbes. These microbes break down the fertilizer and nutrients stored in our plant waste and turn it in to a “natural fertilizer” that the citrus crop can digest and use for healthy growth.

These types of sustainable processes reduce landfill waste while providing valuable nutrients to Florida’s symbolic crops.
