High-Performance Agriculture Can Increase Your Garden Yield Eight-Fold

Story at-a-glance

• Farmers and food producers routinely harvest only about 10 to 15 percent of the inherent genetic capacity of any given crop. By optimizing soil composition and nutrient application, you can easily increase your garden yield six to eight times
• The foundation of healthy plants boils down to two things: Adequate mineral nutrition, and strong soil biology. Compost tea and plant nutritional supplements can address both of these components, thereby maximizing plant performance
• Addressing other environmental factors, such as increasing the organic matter in your garden soil by adding soil amendments, such as BioChar, which provides a suitable environment in which beneficial soil bacteria can flourish
• As plant nutrition is improved, they become naturally resistant to disease and insect pests, they become hardier, and form much higher levels of medicinal compounds and essential oils. This is when food becomes medicine
