From individuals to farmers, vintners, and landscape and turf professionals, we offer knowledge and products for feeding the soil - which, in turn, nurish the plants, reduce weeds, insect problems, and plant diseases. Understand and work with, rather than fight, natural processes to produce results superior to those achieved with a program of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides.

Our products feed the soil food web to build a rich microbial life, the key having healthy soil. Healthy soil allows the natural processes to suppress weeds. Plants in these soils are more resistant to pests and diseases, and require less water than their chemically feed counterparts.

The general opinion is that organics are more expensive than synthetics. However, utilizing organic fertilization, the initial costs can be more than offset by the reduced costs and labor for insect, disease, and weed controls. Also water requirements can be reduced by 50-75%, saving irrigation and improving drought tollerance.
