- Eliminating the need for fertilizers & pesticides
- Diverse microbiology
- Invasive vegetation mitigation
- Tilth/soil structure
- Soil porosity
- Moisture holding/drainage
- Erosion control
- Organic matter
Our product is manufactured through the controlled aerobic, biological decomposition of biodegradable materials. The product has undergone mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures, which significantly reduces the viability of pathogens and weed seeds (in accordance with EPA 40 CFR 503 standards) and stabilizes the carbon such that it is beneficial to plant growth.
