Description

bioSafe Castings Extract produced by extracting a great diversity of microbes from concentrated PREMIUM Worm Castings, soaking in a commercial tank of chemical-free water and vigorously agitated by air-flow through the submerged & filtered castings. Microbes in castings are glued for their protection into the organic matter. This process releases billions of soil & plant beneficial microbes alive & well, into that water.

bioSafe encourages free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria, archaea, phosphorus-solubilising bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi and virtually every other appropriate microbe that can nourish plants from existing ‘parent soil’ – sand, silt, clay, pebbles, rocks. Actively growing plants in symbiosis with these billions of soil microbes, particularly aerobic bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi encourages unprecedented plant health and vigour.

Without this microbial & plant life it would just be DIRT!

Is an effective foliar spray to cover, monopolise and protect all plant surfaces to eradicate or prevent predatory bacterial, fungal or even pest infections.

Plant-available micro-nutrients, amino acids, enzymes, humates, humic acid, plant growth hormones, amega3’s and more, are able to easily nourish your plants via their leaves – often more effectively than through their root systems.

These beneficial bacteria glue themselves to plant root systems forming rhizospheres (look like dreadlocks) covering and protecting the roots and then produce more usable nitrogen, phosphorus and every other needed mineral than each plant requires – free of charge – no synthetic additives required OR wanted.

These microbes produce an abundance of plant nutrients in excess of each crop’s needs. Niels Olsen,1st in the world to be paid carbon credits, here in Australia, reports that his now vastly healthier pastures with metres deep, newly rebuilt topsoil and amazing soil water-holding capacity are extra bonuses from the literal tonnes of sequestered carbon and nitrogen these microbial systems produce – FREE.

But wait … plant available: Nitrogen UP 122%; Phosphorus UP 34%; Sulphur Up 51%; Dry Matter UP to 30%; Crude Protein 13% UP to 45%; Soil Carbon UP 24% from 3.7% to 4.6%; Organic Matter in his soil UP from 3.7% to 10.7% in 5 years – FREE! No hay, silage, food inputs, additives or vets needed for cattle in over 9 years.

Carbon sequestration “equivalent to 3 x fully loaded ‘B Doubles’ arriving on farm EVERY DAY, ALL YEAR ROUND spreading as topsoil – FREE!

Constantly more biomass / feed available than his animals need all year round” – winter or summer.

Let’s keep it really, simple!

Plants of every kind have for millennia worked synergistically with bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes and micro-arthropods, etc. The best, healthiest and most nourishing human & animal foods have always come from these partnerships.

When plants and soil are plied with bulk, salty, synthetic, inorganic, chemical fertilisers and sprays … ALL BETS ARE OFF … these microbial partnerships shut off in minutes. Your plants photosynthesise very poorly, and the foods produced are virtually only suitable for insect food.

Nature NEVER dumps mass chemicals into soil in preparation for a crop, such as most farmers have done for decades. In the 1950’s & 60’s healthy, already fertile soils had small amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium fertilisers added with impressive growth and volume results. By the 70’s, as years of the “put more on” philosophy resulted in 3 to 5 times more chemical fertilisers applied than by their grandfathers, many of today’s farmers and graziers have noted the damage to their soils and livelihoods. Increased overheads for less results after all their efforts and risk.

Nature feeds and protects plants via beneficial microbes that mine, extract and convert minerals and nutrients and deliver them exactly as requested by each plant. Thinner than most bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi have extensive 3 microns thick hyphae (like roots) that can ferret out minerals and water from tiny soil passages, over a really vast area of soil, for the plants to which they are attached, and this for years. All that in return for daily, sugary, plant exudates from their plant’s roots.

Plant roots at 200 microns thick and lasting for 1 to 3 weeks, without microbial partnerships, are extremely  limited! Only the tip of a root can take in nutrition. Yet, with hundreds of hyphae attached, the whole root functions and lasts. Normal roots access 3% to 7% of soil surrounding them. Hyphae can be 1,000-times that.

Chemical signalling molecules help microbes to communicate with other microbes & plants to communicate with microbes, as well as plants to communicate with plants – LITERALLY. They get things done!

The best-informed soil scientists of this century recognise that the plant & soil microbial communities need to be in a two-way and extremely intimate relationship.

Not only do bioSafe Castings Extracts put back missing species of plant-needed microbes, but they also are bio-stimulants – triggering the microbial community to multiply or ‘catalyse’ in the soil around the roots and all through your plants leading to effective disease and pest resistance, far better nutrition and superior defence against climate extremes.

It adds soil conditioners and soil builders such as humates, humins, humic acids & fulvic acids, enzymes, amino-acids, omega 3’s and more, to stimulate plant & root growth. Also, soil microbes, improve soil health, stabilise soil aggregates, reduce nutrient loss through leaching, erosion or volatilisation, improve soil water-holding capacity, drainage and topsoil creation – while constantly sustaining & improving your plants.

Only with extensive diversity of plant/soil-needed microbes can sufficient plant-available nutrients be made available along with microbial protection for plants from diseases, pests and climate extremes. They can successfully reduce plant susceptibility to drought, flood & frost.

Soil microbes can turn ‘On’ & ‘Off’ at ‘will’ or as conditions change. Each day, as the temperature & moisture change, different microbes turn on or off to your plant’s needs. Plants need great diversity of microbes, constantly functioning on their behalf, whatever the conditions – night or day, hot or cold, wet or dry. Castings Extracts biologically stimulate such microbial diversity and activity.

When conditions are extreme, microbes are seen to also be able to change their DNA to break down toxins and to make biological changes in plants for survival that would otherwise be impossible for the plant’s DNA alone.
