We Fix Your Soil, For Good.
Microorganisms-rich living amendments restore our soils and get our plants back to working with nature. Once your full biological food web has been restored, you will be able to enjoy many amazing benefits from your restored soils such as nutrient cycling (goodbye fertilizers), water retention, improved soil structure, reduced weeds, phenomenal natural flavors, and a decrease in pests and diseases. If you’ve never used a biological amendment we absolutely encourage you to reach out and ask all the questions you have. We are here to help and can’t wait to restore your soil with you!

FAQs

If you go out into an old growth forest, pull a sample of soil and put it under a microscope you will see a world of microscopic living creatures. These creatures work together, with our plants, to keep them alive and thriving. Unfortunately, our more industrialized lifestyles have killed the vast majority of these organisms in our everyday soils. Without these organisms our plants need additive fertilizers to survive. The good news is, we can fix this! We work hard to breed microorganisms so you can reinoculate them into your soils. Once the native microorganisms are restored into your soil you will enjoy natural nutrient cycling and will no longer need to use fertilizers to keep your plants alive. Other amazing benefits of full microorganisms include increased water retention, decreased pest and disease, enhanced plant health and flavor and even increased carbon sequestration.

We recommend applying biology as long as the night time temperatures are consistently over freezing. Biology applied in the fall will survive over winter as long as it is well established.
During your establishing season we recommend applying once every 3-4 weeks throughout the season. Once you have established your microorganisms, they will continue to thrive on their own. In your second season we recommend 2-3 applications to boost your biology. In later seasons your biology should sustain itself with proper care.
