Soil Resetting

A teaspoon of soil contains more living microorganisms than there are people on earth. So, soil is a rich living system and that is how we should treat it. Healthy soil life ultimately ensures higher yields, better quality, and efficient use of nutrients.

Through monoculture or intensive use of chemicals or steaming, many soils have lost their vital biodiversity. Pathogens and pests have a free playground when soil life is disrupted. Soil Resetting restores and improves the health of your soil. It combats diseases and plagues and stimulates the growth of useful micro-organisms, such as Mycorrhizae, Actinomycetes and Saprophytes. This makes the soil naturally rich, vital and resilient for your new crop.

With Soil Resetting, the soil is first enriched with our plant-based Herbie granulate, after which the soil is covered oxygen-tight. Herbie is a natural, rich food source for soil microbes. As a result, these microbes grow rapidly and consume all the available oxygen in the soil. Within two days, the oxygen level has dropped below one percent. Then fermentation takes place, and Herbie continues to break down in the absence of oxygen. Gases and substances (such as fatty acids) are released and cause pathogens to die off. Yet after the oxygen barrier is removed, an abundance of beneficial microbes in the soil will start to grow. This improves nutrient uptake and increases crop yield.

Our Herbie granulate is a unique, plant-based mixture that nourishes specific beneficial microbes in the soil. Herbie is free of contaminants, pathogens, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). You can choose from different Herbie varieties, so you’ll always have a mix that fits your situation. We also offer a Herbie mix that is approved for use in European organic production and registered with FIBL and other institutions.

The production of the Herbie mixes follows a standardized biotechnological process, so that the product is of consistent quality and safe for humans, crops, and the environment.

SOILWISE is deeply rooted in horticulture. From experience, we know that there is no such thing as a standard soil. Therefore, our hands-on team of specialists always starts with an intake and analysis of soil samples and soil diseases present. In this way we can provide you with tailor-made advice on how best to apply Soil Resetting in your specific situation. Whether you start it yourself or outsource it to us, we are on top of the whole process and provide guidance for the best possible results.

To familiarize yourself with Soil Resetting, our technicians also provide on-site support during implementation. In addition, we monitor and measure various indicators during the process, so that we have a good idea of how the process is progressing. This allows us to provide you with customized advice on when to complete the treatment.
