WE HELP BRING SOIL BACK TO LIFE

Consultations

These are personalized, one-on-one sessions designed specifically for your operation. Whether you're managing a small garden, commercial farm, or anywhere in between, I'll work directly with your unique circumstances, challenges, and goals.

Professional Soil Health Consulting: Evidence-Based Strategies for Regenerative Agriculture

Stop treating your soil like a dirt-filled trash can for expensive salts. If your ground is compacted, your weeds are winning, and your plants are "addicted" to N-P-K, your biological engine is seized. In this session, we map out the transition from chemical dependency to biological autonomy.

Investment: $350 | Includes: 60-90 min Zoom, Custom Action Plan, SFW Management Manual, and Session Recording.

Advanced Composting Systems

Advanced Composting Systems: Producing High-Quality Biological Inoculants

Most compost fails to deliver biological benefits. Improperly managed composting produces anaerobic, pathogen-laden material rather than the fungally-rich, disease-suppressive amendments your soil requires. This consultation teaches professional-level composting techniques that produce measurably superior biological quality.

Investment: $350 | 60-90 minute video consultation, customized composting recipe matrix for your feedstocks, troubleshooting guide for common problems, and session recording

Soil Microscopy training

Soil Microscopy Training: Direct Biological Assessment and Quantification

Visual confirmation eliminates guesswork. Microscopic examination reveals the actual biological communities in your soil and compost, enabling data-driven management decisions. Learn to identify and enumerate the organisms that determine soil function—bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes.

Investment: $350 | 60-90 minute video consultation, comprehensive organism identification guide with images, quantification spreadsheet templates, and session recording

Biological Pest and Disease Management: Building Soil-Based Defense Systems

Pest and disease pressure indicates biological deficiency, not inadequate pesticide application. Properly functioning soil biology provides natural pest suppression and disease resistance through competitive exclusion, direct antagonism, and induced plant immunity. This consultation designs biological defense systems specific to your operation's challenges.

Investment: $350 | 60-90 minute video consultation, written biological pest management protocol, pest-to-predator reference chart, and session recording
