GREENSAND:  a naturally occurring mineral called glauconite (hydrated silicon and potassium).

COMPOST MICROBES: Microbes that decompose organic material into mineral forms plants can use.  In a compost pile, just a handful accelerates the decomposition of composting material.  Also an excellent spot treatment for brown bath and other fungus infestation in established lawns (perhaps after an organic/inorganic fungal treatment).

HUMATE: All the great soil building properties of compost only in a concentrated form.

POTASSIUM BICARBONATE: (Baking Soda) makes an excellent fungicide for black spot, powdery mildew, brown bath and other fungal problems.

ROCKET FUEL  Specially formulated to feed young roots and get plants off to a solid start.  Fourteen unique organic ingredients including two different guano varieties, paramagnetic sands, colloidal rock phosphate, and a top-secret compost that only Malcolm Beck can find.

SOFT PHOSPHATE: aids in successful root growth and seed development.  Up to 60% of a plants total phosphate requirements are taken up in the first few weeks.  The non-burning natural source of phosphorous is vital for transplanting to avoid root shock.

SOIL FOOD 7-2-2:  An excellent slow release fertilizer for trees, shrubs, and other perennials.

SOIL FOOD 9-1-1 Garden-ville's highest nitrogen organic fertilizer formula, recommended as a spring fertilizer for well established lawns.

SEA TEA  Liquid seaweed mixed with liquid molasses and other liquid composting ingredients; used as a primary soil conditioner without the extreme fishy smell.

ORANGE OIL  Oil pressed from orange peelings (cold press) that has various applications in the garden (i.e. deters cats from using the garden/flower beds as a litter box, insect repellent to a mild extreme, etc.)

NATURAL WEED KILLER  Not systemic and safe to use weed killer for use around wood trunks of shrubs, vines, and trees.  Contains 20% vinegar and citric acid.

MOLASSES: A toner for the plants which works by energizing soil microorganisms, it's the backbone of healthy soil; consider molasses as "blood transfusion" to your beloved plants.

ANTI FUEGO SOIL CONDITIONER: A unique blend of non-toxic ingredients, including molasses and citrus oil that has many, many uses and development, but also the increased microbial activity deters insect activity.

GARLIC OIL EXTRACT:  Some research points to this extract as beneficial towards the repellent of mosquitoes (among the other pests).  Reports show that once applied it is active between 2 -8 weeks. 

NEEM OIL:  Extract of the Indian Neem tree that, once reduced to its "soapy" form, becomes an effective organic insecticide most powerful to insect eggs, larvae, and young adult (similar to regular "dish soap" home remedies, but the K+ ion maintained in the Neem oil makes the insecticide-property more broad spectrum.

BENEFICIAL NEMATODES:  For the average homeowner, organic gardner, or farmer Beneficial Nematodes offer the greatest value when it comes to biological control due to the wide variety of pests they control and how easy it is to get great results. Roov weevil, European Crane Fly, grubs, ants, fleas, cut worm.  Over 250 soil dwelling pest that are so difficult to control using other methods are just a tasty snack for Beneficial Nematodes.

MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI: Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations that form between the roots of most plants and fungi.  Bi- directional movement of nutrients characterizes these symbioses where carbon flows to the fungus and inorganic nutrients move to the plant, thereby providing a critical linkage between the plant root and soil.  In fertile soils, nutrients taken up by the mycorrhizal fungi can lead to improved plant growth and reproduction. As a result, mycorrhizal plants are often more competitive and better able to tolerate environmental stresses than are non-mycorrhizal plants.
