The CSB is heat treated and optionally filtered to remove suspended particular matter. The heat treatment is performed in a range of about 150 to 200 degrees F. for about 24 to 96 hours. Filtration is provided using a standard wire mesh size in a range of about 50 to 200. The fertilizer may then be applied at about 25 to 200 gallons per acre. The fertilizer may be applied to agricultural vegetation either directly or by inclusion in an irrigation stream. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product comprising: obtaining a quantity of CSB; and, heat-treating the quantity of CSB above 150 degrees F. for at least 24 hours. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 1 further comprising filtering the quantity of CSB using a filter having a standard wire mesh size number of at least 50. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 1 wherein the heat-treating is performed such that an average temperature of the CSB is maintained in a range of about 150 to 250 degrees F. for about 24 to 96 hours. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 2 wherein the filtering is accomplished using a filter having a standard wire mesh size number in a range of about 50 to 200. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 1 further comprising blending the quantity of CSB with water to achieve a solution of CSB having specific gravity in a range of about 1.2 to 1.6. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 1 further comprising disposing the CSB based fertilizer product in a container for transport. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 1 wherein the CSB based fertilizer product has less than about 75% dry matter. ### Claim 8 The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim wherein the CSB based fertilizer product includes a nitrogen content in a range of about 2 to 3 percent by weight. ### Claim 9 The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim wherein the CSB based fertilizer product includes a phosphate content in a range of about 0.04 to 0.1 percent by weight. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of manufacturing a CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 1 wherein the CSB based fertilizer product includes a potash content in a range of about 8 to 12 percent by weight. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A CSB based fertilizer product produced according to the method of claim 1. ### Claim 12 A CSB based fertilizer product comprising CSB: the CSB including; a nitrogen content in a range of about 2 to 3 percent by weight; a phosphate content in a range of about 0.04 to 0.1 percent by weight; and, a potash content in a range of about 8 to 12 percent by weight. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 12 further comprising a specific gravity in a range of about 1.2 to 1.6. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 12 further comprising greater than about 50% dry matter. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The CSB based fertilizer product according to claim 12 wherein the CSB based fertilizer product is agriculturally applied in an amount of about 25 to 200 gallons per acre. ### Claim 16 A CSB based fertilizer product consisting essentially of heat-treated CSP. ### Claim 17 A method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation comprising: obtaining a quantity of CSB; heat-treating the quantity of CSB above 150 degrees F. for at least 24 hours; cooling the quantity of CSB to produce a CSB based fertilizer product; and, applying the CSB based fertilizer product to the agricultural vegetation. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 further comprising filtering the quantity of CSB using a filter having a standard wire mesh size number of at least 50. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 wherein the heat-treating is performed such that an average temperature of the CSB is maintained in a range of about 150 to 250 degrees F. for about 24 to 96 hours. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 18 wherein the filtering is accomplished using a filter having a standard wire mesh size number in a range of about 50 to 200. ### Claim 21 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 further comprising blending the quantity of CSB with water to achieve a solution of CSB having a specific gravity in a range of 1.2 to 1.6. ### Claim 22 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 wherein the CSB based fertilizer product includes a nitrogen content in a range of 2 to 3 percent by weight. ### Claim 23 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 wherein the CSB based fertilizer product includes a phosphate content in a range of 0.04 to 0.1 percent by weight. ### Claim 24 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 wherein the CSB based fertilizer product includes a potash content in a range of 8 to 12 percent by weight. ### Claim 25 (depends on 17) The method for fertilizing agricultural vegetation according to claim 17 wherein applying the CSB based fertilizer product to the agricultural vegetation is performed at a rate of about 25 to 200 gallons per acre.
