Growing Tomatoes With Soil Secrets

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.

Understanding the Importance of Cation Exchange Capacity

I was recently asked to provide a simplified explanation on the importance of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) values. My Response: CEC is the ability of a soil to hold onto plant nutrients. The finer the particle size the higher CEC value, generally speaking. For example sand particles are course and visible to the naked eye, where as clay particles are fine and are not visible to the naked eye. So clay will have a higher CEC value than sand. It is obvious to most of us that sand cannot hold onto water or nutrients as well as a soil with a finer texture. Therefore, soils rich in Clay and Loam size particles are universally recognized as being better for farming - CEC explains this. The numerical value for CEC represents how much nutrition can be held by a given amount of soil. For example one pound of a clay loam soil with a CEC value of 20 will hold 4 times as many nutrients as a sandy soil with a CEC value of 5. 20/4 = 5 . It's all about math, for example Nitrogen in

Food Nutrient Density and Why our BIOpack is so important

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 normally not water soluble into a water solution so the plant can drink it. This is important

RESEARCH BY SOIL SECRETS

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
