Those interested in purchasing some IMO/Bio-Char we just finished a new batch which has shown to be a great way to flocculate the soil structure.  We also have micronized minerals available that act as a high powered grow food.

Used in conjunction with the IMO & Bio Char  they have been showing promising results in trials adding to the resiliency and nutrient availability of the soil system supporting plants to express their genetic potential.
