Soil biology consists of tens of thousands of different species, ranging from bacteria to worms. These are the most crucial components of a healthy soil.
Modern farming practices have led to a significant and ongoing decline in soil biology. This has led to lower disease and insect resistance in plants with lower nutritional value. As a result, farmers are caught in a cycle where more pesticides and fertiliser is needed to get the same yield, resulting in a steadily decreasing net income.
Fortunately, over the past 30+ years, researchers and growers have demonstrated that it is possible to revitalise soil biology and regain these vital benefits. Revitalising the soil biology restores soil structure, gives the plants resistance to disease and insects and increases nutritional value.
Based on that research, Trevor developed the BioBooster. It can be done for farms or home gardens, takes about five to seven days to prepare and apply, and will start revitalising your soil from day one. It requires very basic equipment, simple everyday inputs and uses samples of soils from your region that have not been exposed to industrial chemicals. Field tests in commercial crops have shown visible soil improvements within 100 days, increased yields, and shown potential for substantial increases in net income with the first crop.
