Keep your soil teeming with biological activity!

Quality crops need an abundance of nutrients, chiefly calcium and nitrogen, from the soil. Our Regenerative Soil Primer unleashes the biology that can provide the nutrients for crop quality and disease resistance. Soil primer can help:

Digest crop residue

Boost microbial populations

Increase cover crop success

Decrease chances of overwintering disease

Open up the soil for increased water penetration

3 Key Ingredients:

Spectrum™

Spectrum is a soil inoculant that enhances and restores beneficial soil microbe populations. Spectrum contains multiple microbe species and is an especially good source of facultative anaerobes, which provide the greatest nutrient release of any microbe type.

Rejuvenate™

Rejuvenate helps build an environment in which microorganisms can flourish. It’s made up of the commonly missing resources needed by bacteria–the “tools” for them to do their work. It promotes the increased release of soil mineral reserves. It includes complex carbohydrates, humic substances, and Magnesium.

SeaShield™

SeaShield is the fungal support in the soil primer. It provides phosphorus, calcium, trace elements, and amino acid nitrogen, all of which are needed for healthy soil fungi. Fungi contribute greatly to the fertility cycling of a crop, but can often be lacking in farmed soils.

When to apply?

Fall Soil Primer

Applying soil primer in the fall gives your soil microbes months to work at recharging your soil.

Make the most of the winter months

Humification is the process that restocks the soil’s carbon reserves. It happens in cold weather. The humification process results in stable humic substances that cannot be further degraded. The formation of long-chain carbon structures during humification is what transforms dirt into fertile soil. It’s the resting, rejuvenating phase of soil microbial activity.

Spring Soil Primer

Applying soil primer in the spring jump-starts your soil biology for the growing season ahead.

Unlock your soil’s potential.

We recommend spring soil primer for those growers who weren’t able to apply in the fall, and for high-value specialty crops that benefit from multiple applications per year. Spring-applied soil primer still provides a clear value in improved soil structure and decreased soil compaction.

Succession Planting Soil Primer

Vegetable growers should consider applying soil primer before each planting.

“Cover Crop in a Jug”

That’s what a market gardener we work with calls Soil Primer. Applying Soil Primer every time you flip a bed can replicate the microbial boost given by cover crops, without wasting valuable time and bed space on non-productive crops, especially in high-value hoophouse environments.
