The Biological Approach to Soil
Step 1
Initial Site Assessment
Typically in person, the first step is to establish the current state of your soil. Compaction, filtration, nutrient content, pest, disease, and weed pressure, and other measurements are taken.
Most importantly, a microbiological test of your soil will be performed. This will tell you which organisms are present and which are lacking. The microscopes view will be live streamed to a computer or cell phone so you can come along into the microscopic world, and you'll will receive a quantified report of bacterial and fungal biomass (µg/g), and protozoan and nematode counts.
Step 2
Biological Applications
Through the use of biologically complete amendments and biostimulants, whose quality will be measured and quantified immediately prior to application, the missing soil organism groups will be re-introduced to the soil.
​
Depending on your situation, these applications could be as often as weekly, or as infrequent as biannually.
Step 3
Measure Success
Establishment of soil microorganisms will be observed, other indicators of soil health will be compared to the initial site assessment, and additional treatments are applied as needed until a complete soil micro biome is fully present in your
soil.

Agricultural systems that have fully transitioned to biological farming have reported numbers such as 150% increase in yield, 100% reduction in chemical inputs, 50% reduction in water usage, and other benefits such as animal health, reduced erosion, etc.
