Frequently Asked Questions

SoilCare

What is it?

SoilCare is a naturally derived formulation of beneficial bacteria and fungi, designed to replenish and balance the ecosystem in soils, hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponic environments.  It is 100% organic, derived from soils, plants, and animals.

Is it necessary?

Absolutely!  Without a balanced ecosystem, the growing environment is compromised, plant roots are less effective at nutrient absorption and cycling, and plants become more susceptible to pathogens, disease and pests.

How does it work?

In simple terms, it's both a prebiotic and a probiotic for anything with a root system.  SoilCare contains microorganisms that not only feed the indigenous beneficial microbes, but it also replaces necessary bacteria that may be limited or absent.

Microbes are essential for optimum plant health and maximized growth.  They suppress pathogens, increase nutrient conversion efficiency, increase nutrient absorption, optimize plant health and increase overall yields.

Does it control mold and insects?

SoilCare is very effective at eradicating and mitigating various types of molds and powdery mildew.  SoilCare contains bacteria that are unattractive to some insects, however, it is neither an insecticide, pesticide, nor parasiticide.

Does it contain mycorrhizae?

Yes, both endomycorrhiza and ectomycorrhiza.  These fungi are extremely important for sourcing, retrieving and delivering nutrients to roots.
