Michael Melendrez August 11 at 6:55 AM ·  There's a huge interest in using CBD oil/extracts and infused products containing CBD as medicine. Soil Secrets with the cooperation of a professional medical cannabis grower did a grow out experiment with spent/used soil compared to brand new Fox Farm Forest Floor soil. We cleaned the used soil using our Soil Secrets trommel screen and the treated the used soil with molecular biology made by Soil Secrets. Most growers throw away soil after one use so wanted to see if the used soil could be made good and repurposed for a second or third use. The image provided is from the starvation group where no fertilizer input had been provided to either the SS treated spent soil or the brand new Fox Farm soil. Both groups were treated with a Mycorrhizal product and bacteria. The Fox Farm was treated with the mycorrhizal product called Great White used per label instructions. Great White also contains a bacteria blend...

Michael Melendrez 1 hr  ·  Carbon Sequestration, how soil turns into top soil. I've shown you the foundation of our research into what the significant carbon based molecules of soil are and I've shown you how a ruined dispersed clay soil can be fix, healed, by inoculating it with a biomimetic soil ecology process developed by Soil Secrets that will capture carbon, change the color of the soil and change the structure of the soil, all in rapid sequence. In this post I'm showing you the roots of a young Shumard Red Oak that was cut down at the Morton Arboretum in Chicago. The wood found in tree roots is composed of cells that have cell walls made up of a sugar called Cellulose. Cellulose is a complex sugar made up of the same sugar that's found in our blood called Glucose, but in the case of Cellulose the Glucose is linked together to make a larger molecular substance that is structurally strong and able to be the structural backbone of wood. As you...

Michael Melendrez July 14 at 10:55 AM  ·  Soil Carbon Sequestration is Building Top Soil. These two images were taken at our arboretum in Los Lunas, where 32 years ago the soil was a salty high pH clay with terrible structure. The images showing the cracking and light colored clay is the before Soil Secrets. Using the Biomimetic Soil Ecology protocol of Soil Secrets we've stimulated and instigated the process of top soil development which requires that carbon from the atmosphere is harvested by plants and turned into a molecular form in the soil that allows for long term storage. The image showing the darker soil with aggregates is the same spot the arboretum after three decades of Soil Secrets treatment. https://animoto.com/play/fLJ6zlocK0tB5lHJnikrlw

Can you  tell the difference?  The first image shows a field that was not sprayed with your Consortium Soil Probiotic called BIOpack.  The second image field was sprayed.  Look at the difference in color and the overall biomass increase   the treated field.    BIOpack is ATCC Certified (American Type Culture Collection) and  USDA  Biobased Certified.  All 20 species included in the BIOpack are exact species that will perform a known Mode of Action which will provide a specific benefit to the crop you are growing.   For example if your lawn, trees, or crop are not getting enough iron pulled out of the soil to satisfy the needs of the crop or plant, than BIOpack can fix that problem by provided a microbe for that particular nutrient.   Bottomline is that BIOpack will improve the Nutrient Density of any crop you grow as it improves the solutioning of the mineral element in the soil from a n...

Soil Secrets LLC was created from our nursery business Trees That Please back in the 1990's.  It's purpose was to continue the R & D of products that could be effective in restoring the natural balance of soil concerning what defines a healthy soil.  The other objective was to use these same products for growing our hundreds of thousands of trees at Trees That Please, growing trees with the natural processes of Nature flourishing on the roots of our product.  While fertilizers grow drug addicts addicted to the constant feed of the fertilizer, our Soil Secrets process will grow plants that are ready for the rigors of Nature.   For a long time nursery people used balanced N-P-K fertilizers with names that implied they would improve the texture of soil, or they sold bulk amounts of compost, mushroom compost, peat moss and products called Soil Builder, in the attempt to change the Soil Organic Matter and bulk density characteristics of a soil, someho...

The Arboretum  Tomé property was purchased in 1985 by Michael & Kari Melendrez as vacant land.  Unknown to the Melendrez couple the soil was a high pH Saline Sodic Alkaline clay with the pH running as high as 9.3 and never below 8.5.   In the winter the salts would come to the surface and turn the ground white.  In horticulture terms this situation is called "White Death" as very few of the most hardy weeds can tolerate those conditions.   Michael showed a soil analysis report of the site to a Professor of Soil Science at New Mexico State University who told him it was impossible to fix that kind of soil and to put a for sale sign on it.   Instead Michael using his knowledge of chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology and a good deal of dumb luck began to experiment with methods of soil  restoration.  The clay on the site is about 12 feet deep and was hard as a rock, taking many days of digging with a concrete buster and pick ...

A few years ago one of our customers at the Trees That Please Nursery dropped in with a photo of him on a step ladder with his tomato plants.  He was impressed by how large and healthy the plants got.  This is not an  uncommon thing to see and in fact Bob McClendon at McClendon Select in Arizona once complained to us that we did not warn him this could happen at his organic certified farm making it hard to harvest his crop.  Now that we also have the best mycorrhizal product in the industry and the best Consortium soil probiotic (BioPack) in the industry I'd love to see what would happen to the vigor, yield and taste of this man's tomato crop if he would use those products along with the high energy dipole moment molecules of the carbon matrix of TerraPro combined with the amino acids of our Protein Crumblies product. 

Here's another successful test trial using our carbon matrix product called TerraPro.  The situation was one of salt causing dehydration on raspberries on Driscoll's farm in California.  If you go into any grocery store in the United States you can find strawberries and raspberries that came from Driscoll's. Globally, a gradual salinity build up on farm soil is a problem where salts are being contributed by the irrigation water, by the fertilizers and by the use of strong acids on alkaline soil in the attempt to reduce the pH.   As salts build up water is inhibited from being taken in by the plant as water is attracted to the salt in the soil pulling water out of the plant.  As salinity gets worse the farmer is forced into using more irrigation water to try and compensate for the osmotic drag of the salt.  This only works to a point. The two images shown here are of a crop being dehydrated by soil salinity and within a dozen feet plants treated w...

This story is about TerraPro a soil additive discovered and made by my company Soil Secrets LLC.     The active ingredient of TerraPro is a biomimetic substance called a Carbon Matrix of molecules that are supramolecular in behavior.  At the National Nuclear Labs in New Mexico we have performed a full molecular characterization study of this soil molecular substance which now gives us the information we need to replicate it for the objective of fortifying soil.   Using a Commercial Proprietary Information Contract with the National Nuclear Labs we have information that no other entity on earth has, which is the description of these molecules, the geometry of the structure and chemical formulas of the molecules and exactly who the Functional Groups are that are attached to the molecules that make them work, called the Mechanism of Action.   In this story, 450 pounds was top dressed onto the arid soil of an organic cotton farm in Trans Pecos Texas (Chihuah...
