What is compost tea?
A liquid full of beneficial micro-organisms, applied to trees and plants that:
- Increases nutrient-availability and water-absorption
- Increases the biomass and species diversity of beneficial microbes
- Increases resistance to disease
- Increases the ability of soil to hold nutrients and retain water
- Reduces or eliminates chemical fertilizer, pesticide, fungicide and herbicide use
- Enhances ground water quality
- Reduces salt accumulation in soils
- Improves the soils pH buffering ability through microbe diversity
C) SOIL MICROSCOPY ANALYSIS
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR SOIL
After collecting samples, we will assess your current soil health using our lab's microscopes.
We will then provide you with an easy-to-understand synopsis of your soil conditions and provide you with solutions for improving your soil and plant health.

FUNGAL-DOMINANT COMPOST TEA
Enhances your Fruit Tree Vitality & Boosts Production
Trees and perennial vegetation benefit most from their fungal microbe relationships that develop within their root systems. Our compost tea is brewed from fungal-dominant compost and fed to enhance further fungal development.
Fungal hyphae synergize with roots to support strong plants by creating more entryways for nutrients and water, while improving plant resilience.
BACTERIAL-DOMINANT COMPOST TEA
Maximize Annual Crops
Annual crops benefit from plant growth promoting bacteria. Beneficial bacteria increase nutrient availability to plants, produce antibiotics, keep nutrients in the soil, and increase the soil's water retention.
