Salem Soil Solutions

Hi, I’m Pasquale Caccavella.

How We Can Help

Salem Soil Solutions was established to aid individuals keen on comprehending and enhancing the biology within their soil, compost, extracts, and teas. Reinstating a harmonious soil food web is crucial for farmers, gardeners, landowners, landscapers, and compost producers alike.

Comprehensive Soil Food Web

Fostering and sustaining conditions conducive to a comprehensive soil food web enables growers to cultivate robust and fruitful plants without relying on expensive inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.

Soil Assessments

Regular soil assessments eliminate guesswork from soil health improvement efforts and furnish insights into the current biological activity occurring within your soil.

Certified Soil Food Web Laboratory

Salem Soil Solutions is a certified Soil Food Web Laboratory utilizing microscopy techniques instructed by Dr. Elaine Ingham’s Soil Food Web School. Our soil assessment reports encompass a diverse array of metrics, providing valuable insights into your soil’s health. Soil assessments encompass, but are not confined to:

  • Bacterial Biomass
  • Actinobacterial Biomass
  • Fungal Biomass
  • Oomycete Biomass
  • Fungal to Bacterial Ratio
  • Protozoa counts (Flagelletes, Amoebas, and Ciliates)
  • Beneficial and Root Feeding Nematode counts

A Deep Passion for Permaculture, Regenerative Agriculture, and Soil Health

Meet Your Microscopist

What started as a casual gardening hobby has blossomed into a deep passion for permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and soil health. I’ve come to understand that addressing the imminent soil health crisis requires proactive measures and individual responsibility.

Salem Soil Solutions

After obtaining my Soil Food Web School Laboratory Technician Certification, I founded Salem Soil Solutions. As a sole proprietor, my laboratory specializes in receiving, conducting, and promptly delivering detailed soil assessment reports, ensuring personalized service every step of the way.

Presently, I’m pursuing further education through the SFWS Consultant Training Program, aiming to expand my offerings with additional consulting services in the near future.
