Are you ready?


Are you ready to unlock the full potential of your soil and boost the health and productivity of your crops? A soil analysis can help you understand the biology of your soil and take action to support a healthy soil ecosystem. It's a simple and powerful way to support sustainable agriculture and ensure the success of your farm.


We all know that healthy soil is important to farming, but what does it mean to have healthy soil? You might think it's the same thing as having good soil structure or a good pH balance. But if you look at chemistry alone, those concepts don’t tell you anything about whether your plants will grow well. If you want to ensure that your crops have the best chance of thriving and producing high yields, then you need to understand both chemistry and biology in order to build healthy soil.

Chemical soil analysis does not give you a complete picture of your soil's health and potential.

Chemical soil analysis is insufficient for determining the health and potential of your soil. To fully understand the health of your soil, you need to know how it functions biologically.

The reason for this is that plants can’t use nutrients unless they are in a form plants can absorb. Soil biology works to change those unavailable forms into available forms that plants can utilize. Soil biology also helps break down organic matter – including dead plant material – into smaller pieces so that roots can access them more easily. This improves water retention, aeration and drainage which are critical factors when it comes to crop yields and profits!


Microorganisms are the key to unlocking your soil's potential.

Microorganisms are the key to unlocking your soil's potential. They are the primary decomposers in the soil food web and break down organic matter into nutrients for plants. They can also help with nutrient uptake by plants, as well as pest and disease control.


Building healthy soil can lead to greater crop yields and lower fertilizer costs.

The benefits of healthy soil are numerous and include:

  • Improved structure. The presence of organic matter in the soil creates a more porous environment that allows water to infiltrate deeper into the earth, which increases the amount available for plant uptake.

  • In addition, the increased porosity allows for better nutrient cycling throughout your garden's ecosystem.

  • Greater microbial activity. Microbes play an important role in breaking down organic materials and releasing nutrients for your plants to use as food; however, they can be adversely affected by synthetic fertilizers or other toxins found in many pesticides and herbicides used on conventional produce farms today—often leading to decreased resistance when it comes time for these organisms' reproduction cycle (read: reproduction cycles). This is why using natural methods such as biological soil analysis will allow you to keep your microbes happy so they can do their part when it comes the time for growing season!

Soil biology affects plant health, which affects yield and profit.

The health of your soil depends on many factors, including its chemistry and physical properties. But one factor that's often overlooked is the biology of your soil. Bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes all play important roles in feeding plants and helping them to thrive.

In fact, bacteria are crucial for breaking down organic matter in order to release nutrients for plants. Fungi improve soil structure by helping to break down organic matter into smaller pieces that can be more easily used by plants as food. And protozoa help break down dead plant material too big for bacteria or fungi (like leaves) to handle on their own—which means they're vital when it comes time for you to till under cover crops or other green manures grown specifically so they can rot in place without being tilled into the rest of your fields!

Soil biology affects plant health—and ultimately yields and profit—but it can take years before results from these organisms become apparent through regular tests like a bio-logical soil analysis."
