The Bottom Line

  SoilSoup will out-perform any chemical fertilizers over time, increasing both plant size and yield. In addition, plants grown in soil treated with SoilSoup are healthier due to the symbiotic relationship between the plant and the microbes around the root zone.

  The microbes in SoilSoup also feed other organisms in the soil food web:  Protozoa and nematodes feed directly on bacteria, while worms ingest bacteria laden soil particles. All life in the soil depends on microbes, directly or indirectly.

  SoilSoup  can remediate soil that has been damaged by agricultural chemicals, including chemical fertilizers. With repeated application, the microbes will adapt to the soil, convert and metabolize organic and non-organic chemicals.  

  Adding SoilSoup in potting soil will suppress airborne pathogenic fungi that can infect a sterile potting medium. The microorganisms in SoilSoup also produce hormones, vitamins, nutrients, enzymes, amino acids and minerals needed by seedling cuttings and young plants. Treat the soil with SoilSoup 1-2 weeks before planting.

  Fruits and vegetables grown in soil treated with SoilSoup have a higher nutritional value than fruits and vegetables grown in soil treated with a chemical fertilizer. The nutrient value of these plants is increased due to the availability of minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids.

  SoilSoup will treat lawns affected with thatch, which is a condition caused by sterile soil. Garden chemicals is the main cause of soil sterility. SoilSoup repopulates the soil with beneficial soil microbes which break down the thatch turning it into food for the grass.

  SoilSoup applied to the soil greatly improves water retention. Many of the microbes manufacture a protective mucus (glomalin) which acts as a glue that bind soil particles together. The water retention of healthy soil can be 3-4 times greater than unhealthy soil. Approx. 33% less watering is needed for soil treated with SoilSoup.

  SoilSoup applied along with insoluble granulated or powdered minerals such as  granite, limestone, rock phosphate, etc will supply 95% of everything the soil needs. The other 5% is various organic materials.

  SoilSoup applied to a compost pile will accelerate the breakdown of plant material reducing the amount of time it takes to make compost.

  SoilSoup applied as a foliar spray will act both as a fertilizer as well as an organic fungicide. Foliar treatment will produce more foliage and larger stems.  It is a good treatment for plants that are stressed. SoilSoup has also proven to be effective against mildew on the foliage. When SoilSoup is sprayed directly onto the foliage, the metabolically active microbes will out compete the pathogens for space and available nutrients on the surface of the leaf.

 In general, there is a constant battle for available nutrients both in the soil and on the foliage. The larger the concentration of beneficial soil microbes, the less space and available nutrients for the pathogens. It is rare that a pathogenic fungi will invade and "take over" a plant growing in a healthy environment. In a healthy garden, beneficial soil microbes and fungi take up all the available space, preventing the pathogens to establish themselves and start threatening the plants.
