Salem Soil Solutions is a certified Soil Food Web Laboratory. Using microscopy, we identify and measure the biology in your soil, compost, extracts and teas.
Benefits of a complete soil food web
Healthy
plants
Aerobic biology protect plants from pests and diseases. A “castle wall” is formed as beneficial organisms coat the entire surface of the plant.
increased
yields
Predator prey relationships within the soil food web release plant available nutrients into the rhizosphere giving plants an all-you-can-eat nutrient buffet.
Soil
Structure
Soil biology binds loose sand, silts, and clays, creating an aerobic “soil sponge” that stores water, and sequesters carbon.
Weed
suppression
The proper ratio of fungal and bacterial communities promote the plants you want to grow and suppresses the ones you don’t.
“Our soil teams with a multitude of orgnaisms which provide the necessary work for healthy palnts to grow free from disease, pests, and infertility.”
