DIY on farm under 7 days & see changes in 100 days.
Researchers have shown high fungal teas may regenerate soils and fix carbon in a short time. DIY Instant Compost Tea will quickly regenerate soils and give economic, soil and crop benefits within 100 days. See below for detailed methodology and results. Just think! If all Australian farmers were using Grow Your Own Soil Bio-Booster, they could, each year, sequester more carbon than the world emits!!
Healthy Plants – Healthy People Grow Your Own Soil
Bio-Booster Introduction
Farmers and graziers have shown a boost in production when a diverse soil biology booster is applied to farming and grazing soils. The bio-booster can be grown on the property as and when needed at a low cost. This requires no major additional equipment beyond what is already there, some time to get familiar with it and very little extra money. It does require a change in mindset, awareness of the role of soil biology and willingness to look after it.
Four-step Process: The Grow Your Own Soil Biology Booster
Soil Biology Booster can be grown in four steps over 5 – 7days, whether it is for large farms or small gardens.
Step 1: Identify and collect healthy and diverse local soil biology.
Step 2: Prepare a starter – initial awakening and multiplication of soil biology – takes 1 – 3 days.
Step 3 Brewing – aerobic multiplication in water – takes 1 – 3 days.This results in the Soil BB, which is highly concentrated, diverse, living and easily applied.
Step 4 Application – apply into the soil within four hours of stopping the aeration as it is alive and needs oxygen.
By using local, healthy and diverse and soil biology, this process produces a safe, diverse and living soil-biology that can immediately start to strengthen the symbiosis with plants. Many alternative successful methods use compost as a source of soil biology. In Australia, commercial composts are often hot composted. This may be due to regulations or lack of temperature control during preparation. Temperatures near or above 65 °C destroy soil biology. Such compost is still useful as fertiliser and feedstock for growing soil biology. There are many commercial products with a single or a very small range of soil biology species. A wide diversity of species is an essential characteristic of a healthy soil biology.

Navigating the ‘Wild West’ of Biological Products:
I’ve heard some people refer to biologicals as the “Wild West” of farming. Huge potential, little regulation. How do you know which ones could work on your farm? Soil health specialist and No-Till Innovator Jim Hoorman helps navigate some of the key factors to consider with biologicals.“I think farmers need to understand the different functions. We have mycorrhizal fungi; there are like 250 of those. There are maybe 34-35 that I know of that impact corn and about 30 some that affect soybeans. The hardest part with biologicals is you have to know what you’re starting out with, and you need to figure out what you need and where you get them. None of those is easy. They’re all expensive. That makes it tough. For example, we’ve got fungus, we’ve got bacteria. Something most people haven’t learned a whole lot about is Pseudomonas, and those are the ones involved in rhizophagy. If you have Pseudomonas bacteria in your soil, they’re like a double-edged sword. Under the right conditions, they help the crop to grow, but under bad conditions, they cause disease. You need the right soil to make all that work.
