Nearly 2/3 of traditional fertilizer goes to waste. This means your $15-$20 bottle of fertilizer is actually costing you $45-$60. You need a fertilizer that can actually utilize all the nutrients you are paying for.
A true living soil creates a secondary root system using fungi. This is called the mycorrhizae. It allows up to 20-30x the nutrient uptake compared to the normal plant’s root system.
This secondary root system increases the effective surface area of the plant’s roots by 10x, and it can absorb 2-3x more nutrients per root length and allows your plants to grow like you’ve never seen before.
It can hold significantly more water, nutrients, and alert the plants of pests or pathogens when the plants need it creating much more drought resistant and hardy plants.
When you have a true living soil everything is interconnected. Plants, fungi, and bacteria are all living together and protecting each other creating a stronger ecosystem. We call this the Avatar Effect.
This is how you really get plants to thrive. Even if you have one plant per pot, the fungi, bacteria, and the plant roots create a much healthier and plants and let’s them grow like weeds while warding off pests and disease
An army of microorganisms are there to help your plants grow. They release plant growth hormones and build up induced systemic resistance of your plants allowing them to concentrate on growing rather than struggle and us excess amounts of energy to get the nutrients they need and protect themselves.
Which kills fish and seagrass…
And it can make you sick if you breathe the toxic fumes…
… they discovered that formula made with nitrates in the water will literally starve a baby of oxygen and make them turn ‘blue.’
The good news is, you can still reinvigorate tired-looking plants without worrying about the side effects of man made chemicals…
Mother Nature can produce results far better than you might expect.
For example, look at the root system of these two common plants.
The obvious winner is the prairie grass, which grew naturally.
Not modern farming techniques…
And not chemical fertilizers.
Living bacteria – Which is a ‘probiotic’ that breaks down soil nutrients so they’re easier for plants to absorb…
Micronutrients – Which accelerates root growth so you notice dramatic results (even in slow growing plants) in days…
Humus – Which I like to call ‘soil cotton’ because it reduces plant stress by keeping soil moist…
Macronutrients – Which are the building blocks that help plants reach their full genetic potential so they’re producing as many flowers and sprouts as genetically possible…
Works better than normal fertilizer – Studies show it boosts plant growth by up to 50%, reduces soil nitrogen loss by up to 20%, and increases phosphorus by up to 64%…
Attracts pollinators – One fascinating study revealed that pollinators (honey bees, butterflies, etc) visited up to 94% more often and floated around up to 264% longer when soil was treated with vermicompost…
Transforms soil health – By increasing healthy soil bacteria as much as FIVE TIMES while slashing the risk of plant disease…
Makes food healthier – By flooding plants with micronutrients which drive more nutrients into edible plant parts…
Dramatically increases growth and yield – In one study, radishes produced TEN TIMES more yield, and in another study lettuce growth went up a whopping 200%…
That’s not all…
Lactobacillus is an eco-friendly bacteria that literally sterilizes your soil by removing all the GROSS chemicals and years of built-up waste, attacking bad organisms (which reduces plant disease), and rebalancing the healthy bacteria in your soil.
But what you may not know is that it acts like a powerful ‘growth accelerant.’
The best part was the looks (especially from relatives) when I told people what the bins were for…
The best part is this means we’re able to process a MASSIVE amount of food waste like spent grains from breweries, coffee grounds from espresso bars, and veggie pulp from juice bars.
“… more branches sprouting. It’s finally happy!”
