Soil microbes play a vital role in providing nutrients to plants. Soil microbes digest organic matter and convert it into forms that are more easily absorbed by plant roots. This digestion and consequent production of humus also improves the soil structure and in-turn improves the water and nutrient holding capacity of the soil.

 

Over the years, pesticide use and the over cultivation and construction on soil can harm the natural microbial population, resulting in poor soil quality. Most people simply resort to synthetic fertilizers to keep their plants fed, however synthetic fertilizers are simply a band-aid and only work at the plant level and provide little benefit to the soil itself. In order for plants and turf to truly thrive, the soil they live in must be nutrient rich and healthy.

 

The TerraVive line of soil conditioners are natural additives used to improve soil quality and stimulate microbial activity in soil to benefit a wide array of soils and lead to better overall production and even the reduction of synthetic fertilizer usage.
