“We take soil samples, isolate certain strains of algae, and then use that to help generate activity in the soil through feeding the microbiome. The algae serve as kind of the basic building block of the food chain if you will. And we see changes from, you know, biological, physical, and chemical changes in the soil, talking about things like enhancing soil health, improving soil fertility, looking at soil structural changes,” said Dave Booher.
Booher says the end goal is to improve soil and plant health while increasing productivity.
