Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about RTN Soil. If you have a question that isn’t answered in these FAQs or on the website, please contact us directly.

  1. How long after using the RTN will we see results?

Depending on soil type and atmospheric conditions, the product will take three months to completely break down the cremated remains.

 

  1. Do we need to continue using RTN after initial application?

Yes. All new ash interments and re-plantings, in areas where ashes have previously been interred, should be carried out using the RTN Soil product, to prevent the ash building up again.

 

  1. How do we safely handle RTN?

RTN Soil is completely natural, biodegradable and eco-friendly. The micro-organisms it contains are naturally occurring and will only consume deceased material. It should be handled like any ordinary compost, wear gloves etc.

 

  1. Is it acceptable to disturb the ashes to apply the RTN?

RTN Soil products have been approved by the FBCA, and when used as instructed, ensures no ashes are removed; rather mixed with the product and returned to the ground.

 

  1. How much RTN do I need?

The product is measured out into units. One unit is enough to be used for a full set of human ashes being interred or for one plant to be planted/replanted.
