Many Tools in the Toolbox

Biological Soil Testing

Taking a look under the hood at your soil microbial community can tell you how large you underground labor force is, how active they are and if they are in the proper balance for your production goals. We recommend Earthfort’s test #2 or #3.

Cover Crops

Keeping a live root in the soil helps keep your microbial population going strong. Here is an excellent video that explains the importance of a well functioning soil microbial economy.

Biological INOCULATES And Fungal Foods

Disturbance on agricultural lands, tilling, fertilizers, pesticides, overgrazing, removing biomass, can have a negative effect on your soil microbial community. Combined with testing, a shelf stable, well balanced biological inoculate or compost tea and some fungal foods can get your system moving in the right direction.

Holistic Grazing

There are many names for this, planned grazing, adaptive multi-paddock grazing, rotational grazing, cell grazing, etc, but the point is to not overgraze and damage your plants and microbiology.
