FermeGROW™ Organic

Available in Quart, Gallon, Bulk, or Sample sizes.

Premium liquid organic fertilizer made from fermented crop biomass, recycling the original plant materials back into the soil just as nature intended.

  • Feeds nitrogen-fixing microbes in the soil and plant. A critical process that should be expected from all quality next-generation products.
  • Makes the entire plant and soil ecosystem healthy. Supports healthy, diverse soil ecology. Enhances plant vigor.
  • No animal products, vegan/plant-based. Our raw material starts with plant waste from farms and vegetable processors.
  • We utilize 100% circular agriculture. We remove plant biomass from the farm and give back to the farm as next-generation plant and soil nutrition.

When applied regularly, FermeGROW will establish healthy communication, interaction, and activity between the plants and soil.

FermeCHAR™

Available in 3 Lb or 20 Lb Sacks, SuperSacks, or Sample size.

Our soil amendment is made from a blend of wood biochar mixed with fermented crop residues again, recyling these plant materials back into the soil.

  • Turbo-charged with fermented plant materials. Fermentation residuals turbo-charge the wood biochar with nutrients and metabolites beneficial to soil microbes.
  • Reduces soil compaction, retains water. Promotes plant growth by physically conditioning the soil with a rich source of organic matter, reducing soil compaction and the need for watering.
  • Brings in the microbes. Provides a habitat to microorganisms improving biodiversity, abundance and activity. Soil microbes are needed in the transfer of nutrients to plants.
  • Locks in the carbon. Contributes to carbon sequestration, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The growing need for improved water management is one of the prime benefits of FermeCHAR, holding moisture and nutrients close to the plants.

Questions

Directions are listed on the product label. In general, add 1-2 ounces of FermeGROW Organic to each gallon of water. These are baseline, and you may want to adjust as necessary for your growing environment. Apply 2-3 times per growing cycle when the temperature is cool. FermeGROW can be applied directly to the soil, as a foliar spray, or through drip irrigation. For crops, consult your local crop advisor for application.

FermeCHAR is ready to spread or mix.  It is suitable for vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees, shrubs, and grasses. It is a great cover in planters, flowerpots or fields. Prior to planting, spread a ½ to 1-inch layer of FermeCHAR over the area and gently mix into the top 4-6 inches of soil. For lawn and existing flower beds, top dress with ¼ to ½ inch product. For new tree plantings, fill the hole with a 1-2 inch layer around the root ball. For crops, consult your local crop advisor for application.

In FermeCHAR, you get the best of the best- the solids that remain after fermentation and the added value of wood biochar.  A USDA Agriculture Research Service article says, “Centuries ago, ancient Amazonians disposed of their agricultural waste by burying and burning it. As their discarded crop husks and scraps smoldered beneath layers of soil, the area around the burn site became especially fertile and productive. Today, we recognize that this ancient practice holds modern promise. Burning biomass in low-oxygen conditions creates biochar, a carbon-rich substance that some experts tout as the key to soil rejuvenation. Relatively light-weight and porous, biochar can act like a sponge and serve as a habitat for many beneficial soil microorganisms that are known to promote soil and plant health.”

Compared to what we are used to seeing, you are correct; in many cases, they are much lower. FermeGROW Organic is a soil and plant food. Next-generation products like FermeGROW address plant and soil health differently than current fertilizers. NPK may not be the right way to look at some fertilizers and applications. Sort of like comparing gas vehicles with electric or hydrogen, MPG will not always be the right way to look at it. Consider addressing what the soil microbes need first and nutrients second.

Yes.  We have a proprietary clean fermentation process from 40 years of science. Our process is completed in 4-5 days, with the controlled fermentation stage taking place in 1-2 days.  Our process does not release greenhouse gas emissions.  Composting takes 30-45 days and releases CO2 into the atmosphere.  Digestion takes an average of 45-90 days and releases methane and other greenhouse gases. Traditional anaerobe digesters using percolation ponds to treat agricultural waste are costly and land intensive. The effluent can’t be used for irrigation, and the process creates no end product.

Environmental sustainability. Most of the chemicals in today’s fertilizers come from other countries (i.e. nitrogen from Russia, phosphate from Morocco and potassium from Canada). Transportation and utilization of these natural resources have a negative environmental impact. The US Department of Agriculture aims for an increase in fertilizer production within the USA.

Regulatory. Laws are in place to reduce nitrogen application to crops to prevent runoff into waterways and for soil improvement. Other regulations no longer allow ag waste to be taken to landfills.

Our environmental impact is positive by regenerating biomass waste into high-value products. Making this transition to the future will be truly game-changing for the environment.
