VitaSoil is designed to enhance the productivity of soils, and reduce growers need for additional inputs without compromising plant quality. Application can vary depending on growing programme, soil type, available nutrients, climate, irrigation and other environmental factors. VitaSoil is best applied as close to the roots of plants as possible, and best to water after application. Our product is 100% organic and wont burn plants. If you require further clarity on the application of VitaSoil please contact our technical consultant
We suggest to all farmers that VitaSoil is to be applied pre-plant or at planting. This establishes an environment around the rhizosphere of plants whereby they have sufficient carbon and microbes to facilitate in improving nutrient mobility to the roots of plants, improve water absorption, and soil structure.

Our growing customer base of landscapers nationally is testiment to the value that VitaSoil provides. Many of our customers in this industry are reducing bulky, inconsistent compost use with VitaSoil as our product is consistent, contains no weed seeds, and is generally a cleaner product. Application rates are much lower as microorganisms are in much higher quantities. VitaSoil can also be mixed with other growing mediums to accellerate breakdown of organic material and improve nutrient availability.

VitaSoil rehabilitates impoverished soils by restoring microbial communities. The range of beneficial microbes creates microbial diversity in the soil that helps to improve soil structure and drainage, reduces compaction, and bolsters the nutrient cycle by working with plants. Application really depends on the condition of the area looking to rehabilitate, the intention of the rehabilitation programme, and the history of the affected land. VitaSoil can be included in hydroseeding operations as an organic ammendement, spread by hand or with compost spreaders. It is always best to include plants in the rehabilitation process as they help to sequester carbon, feed microbes and generally assist in the process. Please contact our technical consultant for further details.
VitaSoil is a high carbon content formulation with a diverse range of beneficial microbes. The carbon source used is in complete sync with soil beneficial fungal and bacterial needs. VitaSoil contains a balanced mix of active (labile) and stable carbon (biochar). In addition to carbon, VitaSoil is inoculated with a diverse range of soil micro-organisms. These microorganisms are essential in transforming nutrients in the soil into a plant-available form, suppressing soil-borne pathogens, improving microbial communication and creating sound soil structure to better nutrient and water retention.
