Living Carbon
A biological enhancing soil amendment that maximizes nutrient cycling overall soil performance
Living Carbon is not just compost. It is carefully designed to restore biology, rebalance nutrients, and regenerate soil. Living Carbon is mineral enhanced and biologically active. By restoring soil biology, Living Carbon gets more out of soil without costing more.
Nutrient Value
Enhances Soil Structure
Biologically Active
Farm Tested For More Than 15 Years
The Goal of Living Carbon is to help farmers build and maintain balanced, biologically active soils without increasing nutrient management costs. Over time, Living Carbon customers have reported:
â–ª Input cost reductions of 5% or more
â–ª Yield improvements in the range of 10 – 15%
â–ª Increased profitability, many as high as 50 – 100%
â–ª Reduced disease and pest pressure
Sustainable, Resilient, Functional Soil System
Clean and Consistent Material
â–ª Compost heated environment kills pathogens common to manures
â–ª Odors significantly reduced compared to manures
â–ª Dry material, much less expensive to transport and apply than manures
â–ª Hauled in bulk loads, comes ready to spread
â–ª Natural, organic, and sustainable
What Living Carbon Brings to the Soil
â–ª A blend of readily available nutrients for early crop establishment and slow-release nutrients for season-long feeding
â–ª A living system with diverse and active soil microorganisms
â–ª A stable, carbon-based foundation that builds long-lasting, beneficial soil structure
How These Soil Improvements Help the Farm
â–ª The carbon-mineral foundation improves nutrient retention, water-holding capacity, and water infiltration
â–ª The porous carbon structure provides an ideal habitat for rapid microbial multiplication
â–ª Vast microbial population digests organic nutrients and converts them into plant available forms
