The Three-Phase Approach to Soil Health

Why Three Phases?

Most soil amendments try to do everything at once. Throw a bag of fertilizer on your garden and hope for the best. But soil is a living ecosystem, and it responds best to a structured approach.

That's why we developed the three-phase system: PREP, BOOST, and FEED. Each product targets a different stage of your garden's life cycle, working together to build soil that sustains itself.

Phase 1: PREP "The Primer"

Before you plant a single seed, your soil needs a foundation. PREP is a compost-based primer made from composted cow manure and sun-cured alfalfa meal. It delivers a balanced NPK of 1.35-1.13-2.87, along with calcium, magnesium, and iron.

How to use it: Spread 6 cups per 10 square feet of garden bed and work it into the top 6 inches of soil. Do this 2-4 weeks before planting for best results. The organic matter needs time to integrate with your existing soil and start feeding the microbial community.

Phase 2: BOOST "The Activator"

Once your soil has a good foundation, it's time to wake up the microbial life. BOOST contains humic acid from Leonardite, a naturally occurring mineral that supercharges nutrient availability. It also delivers a suite of micronutrients: zinc, copper, manganese, iron, boron, and sulfur.

How to use it: Mix half a cup into each planting hole, or top-dress with 1 cup per plant every week during the growing season. Reapply every 30-45 days.

Phase 3: FEED "The Sustainer"

FEED keeps your soil thriving all season long. It contains everything in BOOST plus bio-char, a form of activated carbon that acts like a nutrient sponge. Bio-char creates lasting soil structure improvements that benefit your garden for years, not just one season.

How to use it: Same application rates as BOOST. Use FEED as your ongoing seasonal amendment throughout the grow season.

The Bottom Line

Healthy plants start with healthy soil. The three-phase system gives your garden a structured path from lifeless dirt to thriving ecosystem. Start with PREP, activate with BOOST, sustain with FEED.
