Our 5/32” pellets are custom blends of mature, naturally inoculated composts along with feedstock ingredients for the fungi and bacteria. This combination of ingredients and the proprietary manufacturing process makes a high-quality pellet with long-term viability in storage and consistent efficacy in soil.
Everything in our products is naturally occurring. We source our composted material from multiple sources. The compost is allowed to mature at our facility in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan to develop high concentrations of natural fungi and bacteria.
We only use certified raw material – Category A compost (CCME Guidelines for Compost Quality). We use DNA testing and advanced biochemical methods to monitor and control quality – including to confirm fungi to bacteria ratios and volumes. We quality test throughout the manufacturing process (from compost maturation to processing to storage).
