We recommend waiting 3-4 weeks for the soil biology to start to take effect and to really see some results. The speed of results vary greatly depending on the current soil conditions, some soils need a bit more time to get going. However it is not uncommon for us to see a boost in productivity within the first week.

If you are not at all happy with your results, you are welcome to a full refund as per our satisfaction guarantee.

Once you’ve established healthy soil biology in your soil, you will not need to use any synthetic fertilisers in order to see productive, healthy growth in your plants.

Our liquid microbe garden mix also contains 100% natural and organic fertilisers to give your plant an initial kick (without compromising the health of the soil biology like most synthetic fertilisers).

The healthier your soil ecosystem, the stronger your plants immunity will be to pests and diseases - meaning you will begin to see less problems without any extra work on your part.

Also, a healthy and balanced soil food web makes for unsuitable soil conditions for weeds, which means that you should see a gradual decrease in weed populations in your garden on soil that has been treated biologically.

A simple way to check the health of any plant is to take a sugar level reading using a Brix refractometer.

These handy tools measure the sugar levels in the plant by crushing a sample of the plant leaf and dropping the “juice” onto the refractometer, which then gives a sugar level reading.

The higher the sugar levels of the plant, the healthier it is and the stronger it’s immune system. And with each percentage increase in a plants sugar levels, it’s nutritional goodness doubles.

We recommend taking sugar level readings at the time of application, and then 30 days afterwards.

To get an accurate comparison, make sure to take the reading at the same time of day as plant sugar levels fluctuate throughout the day according to sunlight exposure.

The sooner you can apply the liquid microbes to your soil the better as they are biologically active and eventually the biology will die if left sitting in a bottle for extended periods of time.

The product will generally last up to 3 months from the purchase date safely as long as it's stored in a cool place out of direct sunlight. A good rule of thumb to follow is if it smells bad, don’t apply it to your garden, as this means the biology has gone anaerobic and will be harmful to your soil and plants. If it smells normal, it's still good to use.

This was an initial issue we had to overcome when bottling our liquid microbes, as if we used a completely “sealed” container, the biology would indeed turn anaerobic and cause hard to any soil it comes in contact with.

When bottling our liquid microbes we use a special kind of vented cap that has a very fine filter which still allows for air flow inside the bottle yet doesn't leak any of the product, keeping the biology from going anaerobic.

We've tested our liquid microbes after a few weeks inside the bottle and all is still healthy and ready for use!

The soil food web is the living ecosystem of biology in the soil that when healthy, provides plants with all the essential nutrients they require for health and productivity 100% naturally.

Our Liquid Microbe Garden Mix allows you to add beneficial soil biology into your soil in order to cultivate the Soil Food Web ecosystem.

You can watch this video by world renown soil biologist, Dr Elaine Ingham that will help to give you a clear understanding of the soil food web.

A great place to start to get a basic understanding would be to watch these short explainer videos by Dr Elaine Ingam on YouTube (they're free to watch).

Another great resource for Australians is Dr Mary Cole from Agpath, who regularly holds workshops on biological farming and regenerative agriculture. You can learn more about Dr Mary Cole and Agpath here.
