1. Understanding the Soil Foodweb.  

  ​​​​​​​The Soil Foodweb is the web of organisms in the soil which interact with each other, and create the biological processes needed for soil fertility.  This process is often misunderstood, but it is the building block for turning lifeless soil into thriving soil.

     2.  Learning How to Measure and Read Your Soil Biology.

 One of the fundamental challenges farmers, biologists, and land managers face is that we often don’t have a way to accurately read our soil health, or know the best way to restore soil biology.  We can spend thousands of dollars on composts and fertilizers without actually knowing if those treatments are working.  If you can understand the biological processes in the Soil Foodweb, then you can learn to read key soil indicators which can show you if your soil is actually recovering.  By monitoring your soil biology, you can have a roadmap that can guide you to restoring soil fertility and increasing yields.

     3.  Creating a Compost Tea Treatment Plan that Directly Targets Your Soil’s Biology.

Once you can read your soil health, then you can create customized compost teas, specifically targeted for what kind of organisms you want to promote.  You can create compost teas specifically for grasses, vegetable crops, or tree systems that will kickstart the processes they need to thrive.  These Compost Tea treatments can be scaled up to nearly any land mass with the right equipment.
