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 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 in 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 a healthy microorganism population include increased water retention, decreased pest and disease, enhanced plant health and flavor and even increased carbon sequestration.

If you are looking to get soil microorganisms back into your garden, then you are looking for Living Extract or Living Compost. If this is your first biological application, or if your soil has little to no organic matter, we recommend using our Living Compost. If you have well established soil, our liquid extract is best for you.

Fresh Humic Acid is a fungal food meant to help increase your fungal to bacterial ratio. It does not contain a significant amount of additive microorganisms. It can also be used to dechlorinate water.

Llama / Alpaca manure is a great nutrient fixing amendment. It is easy to work with and provides a boost of nitrogen and phosphorus.

Here are our minimum application recommendations.

Living Compost

1 gallon / 50 square feet

Living Extract

1 gallon / 100 square feet

Humic Acid

1 gallon / 1000 square feet

You cannot over apply any of these products. Increased application will only help establish your biology quicker and stronger.

Llama / Alpaca Manure

40-45 lbs per 100 square feet. Each 5 gallon bag is approximately 15 -20 lbs.

Yes and no.

We create our extracts by washing the microorganisms off of our compost into dechlorinated water. This is a similar process to what many people use to create compost tea.

The biggest difference between your standard compost tea and our extracts is that we guarantee a full soil food web and a high density of microorganisms by hand checking everything under a microscope. Our products are significantly more microorganism dense than the average homemade compost tea and contain fresh humic acid to continue to feed your organisms.

The internet is full of amazing educational blogs and videos about the beauty and excitement of soil microorganisms (aka microbes). We highly recommend both Dr. Elaine Ingham and Matt Powers educational content. We host in person workshops throughout the Southeast and would love to see you at one of our events. We occasionally have virtual events, and we are available to travel to workshops in other areas if you have an interested group.
