Consortia
Consortia is the flagship product of The Soil Guys — a regionally-adapted, multi-stage living biological inoculant
unlike anything commercially available.
Cultured from a live water kefir grain mother culture and expanded through a multi-stage fermentation process.
Fed on blackstrap molasses and WNC well water, enriched with basalt rock dust, ocean minerals (Sea-90), native
WNC forest soil liquid extraction, and Purple Non-Sulfur Bacteria (PNSB) culture. Verified by direct microscopy
before every batch release.
Every batch carries the biological fingerprint of Sharp Iron Farmstead and the Western North Carolina soil
ecosystem. Batches are released only after passing strict pH and microscopy gate criteria — not on a calendar
schedule.
Directions for Use
– Shake or stir well before use.
– Foliar Spray / Soil Drench: Mix 1–4 oz per gallon of water.
– Broadcast: Apply 1–2 gallons per acre.
– Safe for sprayer and watering can applications.
Application Notes
What Makes It Different
- Cultured from a live water kefir grain mother culture — not an EM concentrate or dried commercial inoculant.
- Multi-stage expansion protocol: each stage verified before advancement.
- Inputs include native WNC forest soil liquid extraction and PNSB culture for enhanced biological diversity.
- Mineral enrichment via Sea-90 ocean minerals and basalt rock dust (commercially sourced).
- Every batch verified by direct microscopy — pH below 3.8 and bacterial dominance required before release.
Storage & Handling
- Refrigerate after opening.
- Store sealed in a cool, dark place.
- Do not freeze.
