The Quest for Soil Fertility:
Nothing In Nature Is Isolated

Eons ago, when dinosaurs dominated the Earth, all life forms that supported prehistoric animals and plants were gargantuan in both size and power. The modern day grower must ask himself “What made the soils of the Earth so super-productive back then?” After pondering and study, this curiosity reveals that the virgin fertility system of life was operating in full force and magnificence...

The prehistoric soils of our mysteriously lively planet abounded with magnetically charged minerals released by geo-thermal activity. The magnetic balance of these highly mineralized soils created a force field that held soil particles suspended in a highly efficient “soil food web.” Because of this magnetic aeration, oxygen had the ability to circulate freely amongst these highly charged soil particles. Naturally, the aerobic beneficial biological life forms of bacteria and fungi flourished within these soil food webs.

The activity of bacteria and fungi in the soil is crucial to plant life; they perform the same digestion functions for plants as do the bacteria that thrives in the human intestines. Bacteria and fungi break down organic matter into available nutrients while they simultaneously dissolve minerals for absorption by the plant’s root system. The high concentration of available oxygen in these structural networks made possible the flawless operation of aerobic plant food digestion. The result of this dynamic soil fertility system yielded highly energized, healthy animals and plants which thrived without modern growing technology.

As the Earth continues to evolve, the virgin fertility system of the soil is drastically diminished by chemical and natural mineral erosion . The depletion of the soil’s magnetic mineral balance leads to the collapse of the flawlessly operating soil food web of oxygen and aerobic biological life.

Like all things in life, healthy soil is dictated by four dimensions which are the following: Magnetic Balance, Mineral Balance, Oxygen Circulation and Biological Balance. Nothing in nature can be isolated. The above four forces are dependent upon each other to build the living structure of the soil food web. Each force is of equal importance - not one of these aspects can be maintained by itself. To isolate one of these dimensions from the other results in the destruction of the soil and its life-promoting properties.

Therefore, the issue to be stressed is that there is more to soil fertility than the one-dimensional approach of “N-P-K.” Although nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are important, they are but mere ingredients. When applied to the soil, without an evaluation of the four primary dimensions of the soil food web, soil will become stressed and the outcome will be plant stress. Stress reduces the Bio-Energetic health of the plant; making it susceptible to diseases and pests. Ultimately, disease and pest infestation leads to death of the plant. And directly beneath that dead plant lies a diseased soil that does not have the fertility to support the life cycle.

The support of the life cycle is the goal of soil fertility management. The intricate understanding of soil fertility and plant growth mechanics has been our quest at BioGreen for the past eighteen years. As pioneers in the non-toxic approach to lawn and tree care service, we have not isolated the dynamics of the soil food web. It has been our goal to support the life cycle every step of the way. Consequently, we address the four dimensions of healthy soil structure in order to preserve the “Web of Life” that nature supports.

As a result of this philosophy, we have had the hands-on opportunity through our lawn and tree care service to develop a product line that services the soil food web for all aspects of the growing industry. Through our practical field experience, we have become the manufacturer of the most progressive and effective soil fertility products on the market today. Back in 1980, we were pioneers in the development of humates and seaweeds long before it was the trend. Out of the necessity to create products that address the deficiencies in the soil food web of urban and commercial landscapes, we have also designed the fertility programs that instruct the grower on exactly how to use them.

Thus, it is our intent to offer the modern day grower the most superior products, in conjunction with the most complete understanding of soil fertility applications. We aim to completely equip you with what you need to address the fertility requirements of your specific soil food web.

We present to you years of fertility management expertise so that you may develop the Bio-Rational approach to soil fertility and plant growth using tested Bio-Energetic products. Every aspect of this catalog constantly considers and weighs the four dimensions of a healthy soil structure - Magnetic Balance, Mineral Balance, Oxygen Circulation and Biological Balance. When these four forces of growth are established in the proper ratio to each other, plant growth is optimally healthy and naturally resistant to disease and pests.

We specifically pinpoint biological balance so that you may know your soil’s required bacteria to fungi ratio like the back of your hand . For instance, your soil must be dominated by Mycorrhizal fungi to transplant trees and shrubs; your soil must be balanced with bacteria and fungi to maintain bed plantings; your soil must be dominated by bacteria to establish healthy turf. Biological balance is that basic and essential.
You, too, will now have the power to transform your soil into the amplifier of energy and biological life that is required for healthy Bio-Energetic growth. As you venture into this field of practical application, you join an expanding network of professional growers who align themselves with BioGreen. We develop the products and programs for fertility management consultants who work with Golf Courses, organic vegetable, fruit and fiber growers.

We are encouraged about the fact that more people are “making the connection” between soil health and human health. As this trend gains momentum, BioGreen continues the quest for soil fertility through healthy, non-toxic agriculture and horticulture. We are proud to supply our products and programs for the ever increasing, popular demand.

As far as Bio- Green is concerned we don’t even want to associate our name with the Word Organic because it has become the most abused word in our American Dictionary by the Market exploiters.

The term for what Bio- Green produces is Bio-Energetics, which promotes a living soil that promotes healthy lawns, Trees, Shrubs, Flowers and Food crops by creating a non-hostile environment where life can flourish and humans and animals can live and play.

Bio- Green has been a pioneer in developing quality natural and balanced plant food products for 26 years. We are part of the Bio-logical Sustainable movement in this USA that has been championing the growing of Natural Organic foods plus that same care for our landscape environments. The voices have been heard and now there is a huge market for these type foods & the fertilizer products that grow them. Unfortunately, the Mass Marketers have arrived to confuse the buyer so they can cash in.

In the Eyes of the Public the Word organic fertilizer means the product is safe and environmentally friendly and because a huge market has developed for Organic Fertilizers. Marketers by the hundreds have come upon the scene with Organic Fertilizer products to cash in on the demand.

The Word “Organic “ means that something contains Carbon. The study of Organic Chemistry is the study of componds that contain carbon. Here is a partial list of chemicals that contain carbon.

Gasoline, Kerosene, Alcohol, Urea, Formaldehyde, 2-4D weed killer, Agent Orange, Ureaform, Methylene Urea, organo phosphate insecticides (such as dursban, Melethion, Diazinon ), and the list goes on and on.

For a label to claim that the product inside is Organic all it must contain is something containing Carbon.

Here is an example of an Organic Fertilizer that a very large company came out with that literally captured the market in the Chicagoland area in the Spring of 2004. It had a high analysis, meaning it didn’t take much to get the job done plus very cheap to buy because price is usually the primary concern– Landscape maintenance companies brought it by the truck loads for fertilizing lawns where the Customers demanded Orgainc fertilization.
NPK analysis of 22-2-5 — Application rate was 3.5 to 4.5 lbs. Per 1000 sq.ft. of lawn. Cost 12.00 to $ 14.00 per 50 lb. Bag. It was the primary Organic fertilizer sold in many garden centers.

Spring results gave very fast greenup and the lawns needed mowing twice a week because they grew like mad. As soon as Summer heat set in these lawns showed up with summer patch, fusarium and other fungal diseases which could only be controlled with frequent fungicide applications. Hot weather fertilizing with this stuff increased disease and other damaging insect problems.

To create a living soil where plants grow healthy and strong you need to
create a non-hostile living soil environment where it can happen.
