🌿 Exciting News from Ophelia's Blue Vine Farm! 🌿
We had the pleasure of welcoming Stan from Missouri Organic Recycling to our farm, where he introduced us to a groundbreaking new type of compost: VRM Biologik HumiSoil! 🌍✨
💧 Why is HumiSoil Different?
Developed over 20 years ago in Australia by Ken Bellamy, the Groundswell process is now being implemented across 30 countries and is part of a 20 million acre program in China!
Unlike traditional compost, HumiSoil stimulates and deploys Fungi, Archaea, and Bacteria through a unique 2-part liquid inoculant.
This innovative process breathes sulfur, sequesters carbon, and absorbs all the essential nutrients from the feedstock while creating free water in the pile and soil after application.
🌱 Benefits of HumiSoil:
Restores the fungal/bacterial balance to its optimum levels.
Utilizes a wide range of biomass materials as feedstock and requires no specific formula or ratio!
Start with a moisture content of 70%—no turning or aeration needed!
Produces a high-value soil inoculant at a fraction of the cost of conventional fertilizers.
📈 Performance That Speaks Volumes:
Enjoy 3x more yield of finished material!
Say goodbye to 65% CO2 losses typical in composting—this process is efficient with no losses!
Enhanced plant growth, nutrient density, and the return of long-lost forage plants!
🌿 Cost-Efficiency:
Just two cubic yards (1500 lbs) of HumiSoil can treat one acre at a fraction of today’s fertilizer costs.
Available in both solid and concentrated liquid forms, including XLR8-Bio, which offers similar benefits.
