Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Are Bio-available Nutrients?
The nutrients and minerals are very tiny particles and are therefore immediately absorbed by the plant’s roots and leaves. In nature the soil biology, bacteria and fungi perform this function of transforming the minerals into the tiny particles that are used by plants.
-
What is my soil made of?
All soils compose of three parts:
- Structure: Varying ratios of clay, sand, loam, and silt. This structure will change throughout the landscape of the land.
- Organic matter: Soil organic matter is composed of decomposing plants, roots, and animal tissue in its various stages of decomposition.
- Soil Biology: Within this soil structure and organic matter, we can find a huge biodiversity of life from the protozoa, bacteria, nematodes, earthworms, insects, and fungi.
All three components of the soil must be present to create the conditions for healthy plant growth.

How Do We Improve The Soil?
Add more organic matter to the soil in the form of good compost, or simply grow multiple plant species and dig them back into the soil. This increase in organic matter will stimulate the growth of soil biology. The basic soil structure (ratio of clay, sand, silt) cannot be changed. Increasing the organic matter in soils provides food and habitat for the soil biology to thrive, which through their processes convert more minerals into a bio-available form for plants to use.

How Do We Improve Root Health?

How Can We Improve Plant Growth?
Plant growth and health is a function of how well its roots and leaves can access the food and minerals. Plants are like growing children; they need access to nutrients and minerals throughout their growth cycle but especially at the early seed and seedling stages. By providing the right nutrients at the early stage of a plant’s life, you will ensure they will grow into healthy strong adult plants.
-
Can We Use These Nutrients In Hydroponics?
Yes. These products should be used in conjunction with your normal nutrient feeding program.
-
What Is GANS?
A new state of matter; a molecule of a gas (GA) which becomes Nano of itself and appears as a Solid state of matter. This is the first time in the world of science that we can demonstrate that CO2 as a gas can be captured without the use of any pressure, temperature, or energy. The captured CO2 can be held as a solid at room temperature.
-
Is All Compost Good For Plants?
Composting is the biological decomposition of plant matter. The quality of the compost produced is dependent on the initial materials used, what you put in is what you get out. Not all compost is therefore made equal. The nutritional value and the quantity of compost used will determine the yield of any crops grown
-
Why Should We Feed The Seed?
The seed to germination and seedling stage is the most crucial time to ensure that plants have access to all the nutrients. This early stage sets the plant on a healthy path for the rest of the growing cycle. Any lack of nutrients, due to poor soil conditions, will result in small, unhealthy seedlings. This in turn leads to poor growing and diseased adult plants.
