Liquid Compost: A Nutrient-packed Spring Punch

For those of you on Soils Alive's Soil-building Program, the Soils Alive team is out applying our nutrient-packed Liquid Compost, along with a proprietary blend of beneficial bacteria, humates and trace elements to condition the soil for a healthy Spring green-up.

Why does Soils Alive's Liquid Compost pack such a punch? The answer lies in three key components of our Liquid Compost:

1. Biology: fungi, bacteria and protozoa are absolutely necessary for a healthy soil food web. Our Liquid Compost contains all three. Without the life in the soil, nutrients do not get released from organic matter. When organic matter decomposes, it's the biology that releases the beneficial organic matter.

2. Organic matter: The organic matter in our Liquid Compost includes humic and fulvic acid which are the basic building blocks of humus and the most valuable portion of a fertile soil. In the Liquid Compost creation process, Soils Alive extracts the humus from the larger organic matter through a hydraulic extraction process.

3. Nutrients: in this case, concentrated nutrients which are condensed through the extraction process. Good organic nutrients have the benefit of improving soil porosity and creating denser and deeper root systems for your plants when they are absorbed. One more benefit: deep, dense root systems lead to water savings.
