At Supreme Growers we have been studying soil biology for over 20 years. In that time we have realized one fundamental principal:

• Plants can not use what the soil can't hold. You can place all the great quality nutrients in the ground you can afford, but if your soil doesn't grab a hold of them they will be just washed away, past the root zone and into the watershed.

•  Our Soil Conditioners have been refined to keep only very large, long chain Organic molecules. These chain like polymers bond to slick soil particles and increase its overall surface area and nutrient holding capacity exponentially. The result a much sturdier and drought resistant root zone for your plant.

• Soil Blast and Myco Blast Represent the cutting edge of Soil Biology and Organic Soil Conditioning and are able to recondition and rebuild topsoil layers (SEE PHOTO) 

It is important to understand the differences between fertilizers and soil amendments. Fertilizers address plant nutrition, and aim to provide additional nutrients to the plant to assist in its growth. Soil amendments on the other hand address overall soil structure and usually focus on increasing properties like permeability, aeration and water retention. While fertilizers address a plants nutritional needs soil amendments address a plants physical and environmental needs.

As far as the difference between soil amendments and soil conditioners within the industry the two terms are synonymous and used interchangeably. Soil conditioners and soil amendments can be used for a variety of causes. Soil conditioners can range diversely from crushed lime applied to lower the acidity in soil, to composts and castings which increase and contribute nutrition and add fertility to the soil. Soil amendments such as peat and vermiculite allow soils to hold more water and nutrients, thus increasing the overall drought resistance of the applied bed, container or field.

At Supreme Growers, we have been using soil conditioners and soil amendments in various forms to improve the water holding capacity and growth rate of our plants. By amending your plants soil you have the opportunity to increase the overall soil fertility. This means more nutrition is available to the plants roots, so the plant is able to grow stronger.

Below is a list of our favorite soil amendments and what they're used for:

• KelpBlast – kelp is one of those super foods plants can't seem to get enough of. The Norwegian kelp used in our kelp blast, provides a highly concentrated and completely organic form of root building potassium. Kelp is also loaded with micronutrients and trace elements essential for strong plant development. For years growers have been incorporating hundreds of pounds of kelp meal and shredded kelp into their gardens. For those of you looking to grow large healthy, disease-resistant plants, capable of extreme fruit sets, kelp is one of those soil amendments you cannot live without.
• SoilBlast – there are lots of living organisms in good soil, there are even more in great soil. increasing the amount of living soil beneficial directly increases the overall health of your soil and plant. Soil Blast is a complete soil conditioner.it contains kelp coupled with long chain humic acid molecules, which add body and increase the overall nutrient holding capacity of each individual soil particle. But what sets soil blast apart from any other product, is its concentrated soil biology mega pack. With the addition of over 1 billion beneficial bacterial units per gram, soil blast delivers a concentrated dose of the living organisms that make great fertile soil.
• MycoBlast- mycorrhizae can be used as a soil conditioner/soil amendment and also as a root treatment. Mycorrhizae is naturally present in all living fertile soil. Once a plants roots make contact with mycorrhizae the roots become inoculated and protected from a variety of pathogens. Think of it as vaccinating your plants Inoculating your roots with MycoBlast only needs to be done once when your plants are small. Doing this once is a low-cost and power packed way to protect your plants from pathogens and diseases, while expanding the overall water and nutrient holding capacity of the plants root system.
