Spring Soil Bundle

We sell 35 products.

  • 23 that we make
  • another 12 made by Tainio Biologicals.

That can make our product lineup confusing, but the intention is to ensure you’re armed with the right product for every application.

Some products can be used confidently by farmers of any scale and crop without much fuss. Some products are useful in more limited situations, but if you find yourself in that situation, you’ll be very glad that you’ve got the right tools.

In this post, we’ll break down our product lineup into comprehensible categories. The goal is to help you understand what our products do, which might be applicable in your context, and which can help you move the needle on your operation.

*** Note: this primer is highly simplified, and products will have many use cases beyond what’s listed. It’s always best to confer with us first.

Let’s dive in.

 

To begin with, there are 4 general categories:

1-essentials
  • Any grower of any scale—from backyard gardener to a million acres—could benefit from these products and should probably be using them.
  • They are designed to be used confidently in simple formulas without the need for sap analysis.
2-functional
  • These products can be applied strategically based on the Critical Point of Influence for each crop.
  • This approach allows you to target specific plant behaviors (such as initiating flowering or fruiting) or specific response to stressors (such as hail or freeze), precisely when needed.
3-nutritional
  • Products that deliver specific nutrients.
  • They are most effective when informed by data from sap analysis, though it’s not a requirement.
4-biological
  • Probiotic inputs that contain beneficial microbes to promote healthier soil and enhance plant growth.
  • They’re all made by our friends at Tainio Biologicals.


Here’s how each category breaks down:

1-essentials

Within this category are 3 groups of products:

 Seed Treatments 

  • These offer the most ROI of any of our products. They are cheap, they are effective, and they dramatically improve a plant’s early development—setting it up for success later in the season.
  • They’re a must for anyone planting seeds—including cover crops.
We offer 2 seed Treatments:
  1. BioCoat Gold™ is a mycorrhizal inoculant (and our most popular product)
  2. SeedFlare™ is a nutritional package designed to complement BioCoat Gold.

 Soil Primer 

  • Soil Primer unleashes the biology that can provide the nutrients needed for crop quality and disease resistance.
  • It is the first step in creating a regenerative system, by putting more energy into the soil than is taken out.
  • It’s a must for anyone farming in . . . well, soil.
Soil Primer consists of 3 ingredients:
  1. Rejuvenate™ helps build an environment in which microbes can flourish by supplying the “tools” they need to do their work.
  2. SeaShield™ supports healthy fungi and plant immunity. (SeaGuard™ is a cheaper, non-NOP alternative)
  3. Spectrum™ is a soil inoculant that enhances and restores beneficial soil microbes. (It comes in 4 variations for different conditions)

 MacroPak™ / MicroPak™ 

  • These two products provide a simple 1-2 punch of broad-spectrum mineral nutrition
  • If you couldn’t guess, MacroPak provides the macronutrients (NPK + Ca, Mg, S), and MicroPak brings the micronutrients (8 of ‘em, to be exact)
  • Mix them together to make simple, very effective foliars and fertigation. A basic formula is 4 parts MacroPak : 1 part MicroPak.
2-functional

 Accelerate™ 

  • Many would contend that Accelerate deserves a place in the “Essentials” category
  • It’s a special blend to support flowering, and should be applied a week or two before flowering begins (and then again every two weeks for continuously-flowering crops)

 SeaStim™ 

  • A diverse blend of kelp species that contains a myriad of trace compounds
  • It has tons of benefits: root growth, immune support, efficient nutrient uptake, and so on.
  • A great third piece to add to the MacroPak/MicroPak combination

 SeaCrop™ 

  • Concentrated seawater processed to be low-sodium.
  • Contains over 50,000 organic substances and a plethora of trace nutrient, and offers loads of benefits

 PhotoMag™ 

  • Designed to optimize sunshine by including all the key nutrients used in photosynthesis.
  • Use cases include: just before or after an abiotic stress event (like hail or freeze), during fruit fill, and when establishing perennial plantings

 HumaCarb 2.0™ 

  • Improves the efficiency of soluble fertilizers by preventing leaching
  • A key part of our Nitrogen Efficiency Program
  • New and improved formula no longer settles and clumps!

On Monday, we’ll cover categories 3 & 4: Nutritional and Biological.
