"Microbes are very much like probiotics..."

Horticulturist, Dr. Ann Miller shares with us that very much like probiotics in comparison. "There is good bugs and bad bugs, and good microbes and bad microbes. SoilCare is a product that introduces all of the good guys"

Dr. Miller goes on to share with us that she uses Wind River Microbe SoilCare products in several different ways at Restore OKC. In their outdoor production area, they use a method called "Back To Eden". They did not have enough compost to cover the ground so they sprayed the ground with SoilCare instead to see if it would make a difference. Her results were outstanding. The SoilCare treated area resulted in beautiful rich black soil and the untreated area was still red clay.

In their aquaponic system holding approximately 2,000 goldfish. They introduced SoilCare into the water. Not thinking too much of it, time went on. Dr. Miller shares that she kept hearing from other people, that on average, lost 10% of their fish bought from the same source. She goes on to share that having over 2,000 fish they only lost around 25-30 fish for the year. "Across the board its normal to loose 50 fish within your first week... This stuff really works..." She said.

Passion for growing plants, planting a seed and watching it germinate is so exciting...

SoilCare helps speed up the germination process and can even be mixed into your watering pitcher for container gardens. Vinita Newman is the greenhouse and production manager at Restore Farms OKC.

"It's important for a community to have fresh produce. Having access to fresh produce in a community shows that, that community is cared about." Vinita said.
