The ARC is a great organization and a great business partner.  We are very happy that they will be our packaging partner.

Do Plants Really Need Fertilizer?

All Purpose Plant Super FoodOrganic, All-Purpose Plant Super Food! – Everything your plants want and need!

We designed a plant fertilizer that is all natural and super simple and easy to use!

Buy All-Purpose Plant Super Food Here!

Do plants really need fertilizer?  As a manufacturer of organic, natural plant foods and fertilizers, this is I hear a lot.  “Probably Not” I always answer to the amazement of those asking the question.  Plants can usually “survive” on just water and sun.  I eat a very extensive diet because I love cooking and I love food, but I could survive on much less.  Many millions of people around the world survive on a diet or say, rice and beans.  Just because your plant can survive doesn’t mean that is the ideal diet, but it is sufficient to keep the plant alive.

So why should I use a fertilizer on my plants?  While plants may only need sun and water to stay alive, fertilizer will help your plants in many very important ways.   Indoor plants, for example, live in the same soil and are often given chlorinated water to drink so the soil is both dead from chlorination and deprived of nutrients and minerals because they have never been replenished since the plant was potted.  Cut plants and Christmas Trees need readily accessible minerals and nutrients since they have had their roots removed.  Outdoor plants are more likely to have access to minerals and nutrients in the soil and are more likely to get more rain water and less chlorinated water, but outdoor plants are often over taxed by too much sun, too much heat or not enough sunlight.

Buy All-Purpose Plant Super Food Here!

What do my plants need?  Most of the chemical fertilizers you see at the big box stores boast really high NPK numbers but the truth is that high numbers don’t mean anything.  Our low numbered NPK products deliver a slow release of nutrients and minerals but they deliver the minerals and nutrients in a way that is really easy for plant cells to uptake or absorb the nutrients.  Organic, natural fertilizers help replenish the nutrients and minerals the soil and plant need, but they deliver a large variety of beneficial microbes that help the plants to grow big and strong and return a healthy balance to the soil to help the plant best fight off bugs and disease.

We at BioSoil Farm make it very easy for you to help your plants and soil with our natural, all-purpose organic plant super food (fertilizer).  Just add a tablespoon or so every time you water your plant – either sprinkle it around your plant soil or add it to the water!

What kind of plants can be helped by all natural, all-purpose organic plant super food?

  • Indoor plants
  • Cut Flowers
  • Planter Boxes
  • Flower Boxes
  • Gardens and Garden Plants
  • Lawns
  • Golf Courses and Golf Greens
  • Christmas Tree in water

Can too much organic all-purpose plant super food kill my plants?  No.

Buy All-Purpose Plant Super Food Here!

Will organic, all-purpose plant super food be dangerous around kids or pets? No.  You could eat this stuff and not suffer any consequences – but we certainly don’t recommend this!

Is organic, All-purposed Plant Super Food easy to use? Yes!  We have designed this to be super easy to use.  1 Tablespoon per plant per water (or every 7-10 days)

Too little?  Don’t worry…a little can go a long way.

Too much? Don’t worry you can not hurt your plants with too much.  There is a point of diminishing returns, but you can’t hurt your plants.

Going away?  Our Plant Super Food is made to offer both immediate minerals and nutrients and the delivery of nutrients and minerals over time.  While best results can be achieved by adding a little every week, missing a cycle or two will not harm your plants.

Gardening Advice – How much organic fertilizer does my garden need?

0
0

Worm Castings and Organic Fertilizer by BioSoil.farmAs a worm farmer and “manufacturer” of organic fertilizers, here for the Spring and Summer of 2016 are my organic fertilizer tips for your garden and outdoor plants.

How much fertilizer does my garden need?  How much fertilizer a garden needs depends on a lot of factors; soil type, age of soil, amount of new soil or bedding added, crops to be grown etc.  Because most people lack the degrees in Botany, Biology and Chemistry and don’t want to take the time or the expense to provide exactly what a plant needs exactly when they need it, there is a SIMPLE SOLUTION…  For every 50 square feet of garden you want at 2-5 pounds of worm castings – To that add 1 pound of a balanced soil amendment (organic vitamins and minerals, microbes, and important trace minerals) such as Outdoor Plant Super Food. For $20-$30 you are all set for the season.  Nothing to add later on – nothing to remember.  One seasons worth of organic fertilizer then you need sun and water!  Your plants will grow bigger, fatter, faster, stronger.  You will get more flowers and more fruits and vegetables. The best feature… your fruits and vegetables will taste amazing! 

 

Can I mix Organic Fertilizer with Chemical Fertilizers? It is best not to.  Chemical Fertilizers tend to kill the microbes that make up the backbone and driving force of healthy soil.  It is best to go all organic (or all chemical if you must) because the toxic chemicals used to make chemical fertilizers kill organic fertilizer.

What if I already mixed chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer? You will still get some of the benefits of the organics and your soil will try to regenerate it’s ecosystem but the chemicals will try to interfere. The good thing about chemical fertilizers is that most of it leaches out of the soil rather quickly (they want you to use more) and so I often recommend a second application – top dressing – each time you water for a couple of weeks.

Do I need specialized fertilizers for each plant or part of the plant growing cycle? NO!  The answer may be a YES! if you are running a big business and highly profitable crop where you need to maximize everything, but if you want a great, healthy, tasty crop you want to have healthy soil that properly feeds the plants.  The worm castings and Plant Food will do that.

What if I use too much worm castings? Worm castings should never exceed 20% of the soil mix but more won’t hurt anything.  Worm castings work best when part of a diverse soil ecosystem; soil, potting mix, worm castings and organic fertilizer mix.  Good soil mixes should be 3%-15% worm castings.  More is better but even some is good, it just takes far longer for the process to really get fully going.

What if I use too much organic fertilizer? That depends on the fertilizer, but our Outdoor Plant Super Food can not hurt plants, animals or people.  I suppose some people may be able to find ways to make anything dangerous, but if used as intended, neither our Outdoor Plant Super Food or our Potted Plant Super Food are dangerous to plants, soil, animals, kids or grownups.

Magic Earthworm Casting – Air Dried and Powdered Worm Castings

BioSoil Farm's Powdered Earthworm Castings - All Natural and OrganicAir Dried and Powdered Earth Worm Castings – More and more people learn that worm castings are a great, natural fertilizer.

What we have done takes worm castings to a whole new level of awesomeness!  That is why we call them Magic Earthworm Castings!  They aren’t really magic of course, but it certainly seems that way.  These castings will rejuvenate even the mostly tired and sickly looking plant.  They will kick start your seedlings or transplants.

When I tell people that these powdered worm castings are magic they always chuckle, but they return a month later to tell me how amazing their plants are!  Powdered worm castings are naturally more expensive than worm castings as they are dry – so dried, powdered worm castings are a concentrated form of worm castings.  Contains both fast soluble and slow soluble nutrients to feed your plants today and for days and weeks to come.

Wholesale Powdered Worm Castings – Private Label Powdered Worm Castings – Bulk Powdered Worm Castings

BioSoil Farms Magic Earthworm Casting – Air Dried and Powdered Worm Castings are available for retail clients through our online store or by Magic Earthworm Castings wholesale (for wholesale powdered worm castings information please click here), private label or in bulk.

Worm Castings Activator – 

Do you use Worm Castings in your garden, your potted plants or your raised beds?

powdered earth worm castings from biosoil farm - medium size imageTry Worm Castings with our Worm Castings Activator – Mix 10 lbs of worm castings with one pound of our activator and you have Super, Fast Acting Worm Castings!

Worm Castings, the amazing soil amendment from worms and night crawlers has been touted as the best fertilizer in nature.  As a worm farmer who breeds three species of worms for their castings, I agree.  But most people don’t know what makes worm castings so good nor how to make them better.

If you mix one pound of our Outdoor Plant Super Food with 10 lbs of Worm Castings you will discover what we have begun to call Super Worm Castings!  The reason for this is simple… worm castings contain special microbes that break down elements in the soil and make it easily available to plants.  The more microbes you have the better it is.  But microbes need food and it takes a while for microscopic creatures to break down the soil.

Our Outdoor Plant Super Food works hand-in-hand with the worm castings.  It provides immediate food for the microbes so that they can really get to work fast and multiply that much faster.  This builds a strong colony of microbes to break down nutrients and micro-nutrients in the soil and delivers much faster, much better results!

This post is for those of you who are curious about worm castings or night crawler castings and how they help plants grow.

If you think Worm Castings are great (and they are!!!) you should see the magic of Worm Castings and Worm Castings Activator!

Worm Castings Activator is ONLY available through the BioSoil.farm store.

BioSoil Farm adds Styrofoam eating mealworms –

Mealworms Eat and Safely Recycle Styrofoam – BioSoil Farm

We first discovered this fact on a farm when mealworms housed in Styrofoam ate through the container and nearly escaped!  I decided to test this out.  I bought 100 meal worms and placed them in one of our worm habitats and they lived on Styrofoam alone for several life cycles.

I posted this on facebook just as a matter of interest and several of my friends starting sending me videos and articles that confirmed scientifically what I had discovered anecdotally.

The studies were small and very limited in scope.  As a worm farmer – www.BioSoil.farm –  I saw an opportunity to use what I know about raising worms to take the Stanford Study to a whole new level.

mealworms eating styrofoamWorms – at least the worms on our farm – take time to acclimate to a new diet and a sudden change in their diet can cause them stress or death.  (My dad is the same way….) I don’t know if the Stanford Study first acclimated their worms or just abruptly changed their diet.  I will study to see if meal worms do better when acclimated like earthworms or if their diet can be abruptly changed without causing health problems or death.

I also know that mealworms activity and I presume their daily consumption are very temperature dependent.  Another of our early studies will be to see if temperature affects the amount of Styrofoam they can eat per day.

Once we have determined the ideal conditions for the mealworms to consume the most Styrofoam possible, we will layout the foundation of a longer study with as many as 500,000 mealworms.

We will do as much work as we can generate community support for.  If you would like to offset your personal styrofoam use or help fund our study, please visit https://www.gofundme.com/23qen4ut

Worm Castings Evolved – Encapsulated Worm Castings

Microencapsulated Worm Castings - Worm Castings EvolvedSuper Worm Castings – Encapsulated Worm Castings

A first of a kind worm casting BREAKTHROUGH!!! Our encapsulated worm castings can be spread with a broadcast spreader  or drop-spreader without gunking up the mechanisms!

Worm Castings are amazing all by themselves.  At BioSoil Farm we believe we make a super deluxe worm casting.  We start with our own custom earthworms who eat an all-grain diet in a proprietary two week batch cycle. We use living water (not chlorinated water), and produce a homogeneous final worm casting we believe is hands-down better than all others. But now we have made worm castings even better…

Encapsulated Worm Castings are available at the BioSoil Farm store or on ebay.

WORM CASTINGS – What makes worm castings so amazing are the nitrogen-fixing microbes and the humic content.  The microbes consume the nitrogen in the soil, air and water and make it plant-ready for plants to consume.  By making the roots and plant stronger they make it less susceptible to pests and disease.

WORM CASTINGS EVOLVED – We custom bred a very specific night crawler to deliver the best microbes and the highest microbial count.  And we believe our worm castings are top quality.  To keep our microbes healthy and strong so they can best serve you, your soil, and your plants, we encapsulate our worm castings with a variety of super soil amendments; humic acid, azomite, DE, green sand and crab shell meal.

Encapsulated Worm castings are like worm castings on steroids.  The encapsulated worm castings provide food and a healthy environment for them to thrive.  The coating of the worm castings also provides great soil amendments to help your soil and plants thrive!  The microbes in the castings increase the rate at which the soil amendments breakdown and become plant ready nutritional supplements.

Encapsulated Worm Castings work like dried worm castings with all the benefits of moist castings. Moist, or traditional worm castings, provide a nice environment for the microbes but castings are much easier to use and spread when they are dried and powdered.  The problem is that the more you dry castings the fewer microbes stay alive. Encapsulated Worm Castings bring together the best of moist castings and dry castings.

To Buy Encapsulated Worm Castings, please click on one of the links below.

Encapsulated Worm Castings can be purchased through BioSoil Farm or on ebay.

Wholesale and Bulk orders welcome.  Please call 518-542-7959 to discuss wholesale and bulk orders.

MAXALIZER BEATS MIRACLE-GRO and JACK’S 20-20-20 in a controlled study!

Grass Grown with MAXALIZER and BioSoil Farms Encapsulated Worm Castings germinated faster, germinated more seeds, grew more quickly and showed better color and plant density!

We tested MAXALIZERBioSoil Farms newest liquid fertilizer with the brand new Encapsulated Worm Castings and the results are simply amazing!

Each Pot was filled with Coconut Coir as it is basically inert.

POT 1: (far left) Water Only.  This pot was only given water.

POT 2: (second from left). Miracle Gro.  This pot got 30g of Miracle Gro mixed to package instructions of 1T/Gallon water.

POT 3: (second from right) Jack’s 20-20-20.  This pot got 30g of Jack’s 20-20-20 all purpose fertilizer mixed at 1T/Gallon of water..

POT 4: (right) BioSoil Farm MAXALIZER and Encapsulated Worm Castings.  This pot got 185g of Encapsulated Worm Castings mixed in with the potting coir and then 30g of MAXALIZER mixed to package instructions.

Plants were given nutritional treatment only at seeding.  They were all watered twice daily.

About BioSoil Farms MAXALIZER and Encapsulated Worm Castings:

MAXALIZER is an all natural soil amendment that does what traditional fertilizers do…. only better.  MAXALIZER is made by extracting plant nutrients from plant matter in the waste stream.  We collect banana peels, coffee grounds, waste lettuce and greens, and other all natural plant materials that would otherwise be thrown away and end up in landfills.  Using a proprietary method, we extract all the plant nutrients from the organic waste and suspend them in a water based concentrate.

Encapsulated Worm Castings: BioSoil Farms Encapsulated Worm Castings are like super hero worm castings.  We use a special method to roll each casting in valuable plant nutrients like humic acid, green sand, diatomaceous earth, and azomite.

The combination of MAXALIZER and Encapsulated Worm Castings provides everything that plants need for short term and long term growth.  The worm castings are loaded with beneficial microbes that quickly go to work breaking down all the plant based nutrients in MAXALIZER for short and medium term plant nutrition.  The organic ingredients that encapsulate the worm casting are broken down over a longer term providing a time-release nutritional followup to MAXALIZER.

So on everything that we measured: germination time, germination rate and plant growth rate BioSoil Farms all-natural, vegan, organic fertilizers beat the big boys and their synthetic fertilizers made from highly refined natural gas and blast mined from the earth.  They are bad for the environment and clearly not as good for your plants as our MAXALIZER and Encapsulated Worm Castings!

Dried Pulverized Worm Castings Beat Miracle-Gro and Jacks 20-20-20

We have seen great interest in Dried Pulverized Worm Castings for a variety of reasons.  Hawaii does not allow the import of worm castings as they prohibit worms and worm eggs from coming on shore.  Golf Courses do not want to add worms and are skeptical about using worm castings for fear of adding baby worms or worm eggs that will cause trouble down the road.  Others like the dried,powdered worm castings because they are soft, clean and easy to distribute.

BUT… Microbes, the highly beneficial star ingredient in Worm Castings – in theory – die off when they dry out.

YET… People kept asking for them and they are a good seller.

SO… We decided to test them against Miracle-Gro and Jack’s 20-20-20 and to my udder amazement, BioSoil Dried Pulverized Worm Castings BEAT both traditional synthetic fertilizers!

Dried Pulverized Worm Castings are unique to BioSoil Farm as our cool, air-dry method keeps the microbes healthy in the process.  No heat is used.  Our staff carefully dries them and then pulverizes them, then filters them to create a truly beautiful soil amendment that works better than anyone would have guessed.

Sorry Miracle-Gro.  Sorry Jacks 20-20-20 – we beat you again!  Natural Organics wins over highly processed natural gas and blast mined ingredients!!

The resulting tomatoes were firm but juicy, about 4″ x 3″ each and plentiful quantity on each vine.  The plant grew from 5″ tall on June 8, 2017 and are currently over 8′ tall on September 3rd, 2017.

BioSoil Farm System includes working encapsulated worm castings into the soil so that they are 15%-20% by volume.  During the early “plant development” part of the growing cycle I used Worm Tee and MAXALIZER.  During the flowering and fruiting stage  I used Worm Tee and MAXALIZER Flower.

The MAXALIZER products gave plants immediate daily energy and the EWC’s or encapsulated worm castings provided both time release macro and micro-nutrients.

Root Beds are GIAGANTIC!  Tomatoes are perfectly shaped, kind of tye-died with color and plentiful on the vine.  Each tomato is well over a pound.  Taste is amazing.  Texture is perfect combination of firm and juicy.

BioSoil Farm - Greener Grass with Worm CastingsFREE SHIPPING ON WORM CASTINGS – WINTERIZE YOUR LAWN

Now is the PERFECT time to apply a nice thick application of worm castings to your grass.  An application of worm castings in the fall helps the grass to “bulk up” for the winter and to drive the grass roots down and make them nice and thick.  This will promote healthy grass in the spring and the thick roots will keep out spring weeds.

LAWN CARE WINTERIZATION WITH WORM CASTINGS APPLICATION RATES

Application of worm castings for lawn winterization: You can not apply too much!  Apply a generous amount of worm castings to top dress your lawn. About 10 lbs per 250′ square feet.  Best to do it in cool weather before the leaves fall.  Best to do it right before rain, in the evening.  Worm Castings should be watered in and rain water is best, BUT it doesn’t absolutely need to be watered in and you can use tap water from your hose if there isn’t the option to top dress your lawn with worm castings before it rains.

WHY WINTERIZE LAWNS WITH WORM CASTINGS

Winter is coming and winter weather is not good for your grass.  By applying worm castings in the fall, the very special microbes in our worm castings can attach to the roots of the grass helping provide nutrition to the grass all winter long.  Grass can’t grow “up” in the winter so it uses available energy to grow down.  Grass, if fed, will establish great root structure over the winter.

IS YOUR GRASS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE??

If your grass is in really bad shape or you are plagued with weeds in your lawn, use worm castings to top dress your lawn and spray on our liquid organic fermented lawn food MAXALIZER!  This is designed to work with the microbes in our worm castings to deliver food to your grass all winter long.

Benefits of Living Fertilizer Systems like MAXALIZER

Grow Bigger Better Healthier Plants that produce more fruit or flowers with BioSoil Farms All-Natural, Cold-Brewed Fertilizer Systems!

Fertilizer feeds plants.  Different fertilizers work in different ways.  At BioSoil Farm, we produce cold-brewed living fertilizer systems for a variety of crops like cannabis, hemp, hops, grapes, turf grass and tomatoes.  Our fertilizer is very unique.

Most importantly, it kicks the butt of any other fertilizer system either synthetic or organic!  It is easy to use, all natural and made using the best organic practices.  It is based on building a healthy soil web.  Our living fertilizers are packed with microbes, fungi, protozoa, and complex nematodes – everything needed to build a healthy soil web.

Then we use these microbes to feed the plants.  Most of the microbes are root-fixing microbes that attach themselves to the plants root and spend their lives eating nutrients, making those nutrients fixed or “available” and excreting the nutrients directly into the plant roots.

When you use BioSoil Farm MAXALIZER  in combination with our EWC’s (Encapsulated Worm Castings) plants get both immediate nutrition and time released nutrition providing your soil and plants with everything they need to be strong and vibrant, producing more than any other nutrient system whether synthetic or organic.

Our Organic Crop Based Systems can either be purchased “off the shelf” or custom blended to tomatoes grown with organic biosoil farm tomato growing systemmeet your specific needs!  Interested in a custom blend for your crop?  Contact BioSoil Farm today to speak with one of our crop specialists.

Our systems are comprised of EWC’s (Encapsulated Worm Castings), MAXALIZER, MAXALIZER FLOWER formula, and Worm Tee.  All of our products are designed to work in harmony with one another.

Where are the plant nutrients derived from?  All of the nutrients are derived from waste plants.  We work with our local Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY and local food waste producers to gather fruit and plants that have “expired.”  Then we use a process we invented to extract those plant nutrients and we cold-brew them in our various MAXALIZER formulations.
