Abstract

A soil improver and method for making the same. The soil improver, in one example, comprises a nitrogen source, a surfactant, a multi-mineral, and a microbial blend. The microbial blend comprises at least one bacterium, at least one fungus, and at least one mycorrhiza. The mycorrhizae mine water and nutrients for plant roots in exchange for food. Further the mycorrhizae greatly expands the effective root zone of the host plant. The soil improver is made by mixing the dry ingredients. Thereafter the microbial blend is mixed with the dry ingredients.

Claims (34)

1 . A soil improver comprising:

a nitrogen source;

a surfactant;

a multi-mineral;

a microbial blend, wherein said microbial blend comprises:

at least one bacterium;

at least one fungus;

at least one mycorrhiza.

2 . The soil improver of claim 1 further comprising:

a chelator;

a microbial growth nutrient; and

a multi-chelated amino acid.

3 . The soil improver of claim 1 wherein said surfactant comprises yucca.

4 . The soil improver of claim 2 wherein said chelator comprises humic acid.

5 . The soil improver of claim 2 wherein said nitrogen source comprises feather meal.

6 . The soil improver of claim 2 wherein said microbial growth nutrient comprises sea weed.

7 . The soil improver of claim 2 wherein said multi-mineral comprises ash.

8 . The soil improver of claim 2 wherein said soil improver comprises between about 5 to about 25% nitrogen, between 1 and about 10% chelator, between 1 and about 10% microbial growth nutrient, between about 40 and about 70% multi-mineral, and between about 5 and 25% microbial blend.

9 . A method for a soil improver, said method comprising:

a) mixing a nitrogen source, a surfactant, a multi-mineral to form a dry mixture;

b) mixing a microbial blend, wherein said microbial blend comprises:

at least one bacterium;

at least one non-mycorrhizae fungus;

at least one mycorrhizae.

10 . The method of claim 9 wherein said mixing of step a) further comprises mixing a chelator, a microbial growth nutrient, and a multi-chelated amino acid.

11 . The method of claim 9 wherein said mixing of step a) comprises maintaining the moisture content of said dry mixture below 5%.

12 . The method of claim 9 wherein said mixing of step b) is conducted below 100° F.

13 . The method of claim 9 wherein said mixing of step a) comprises adding each ingredient separately.

14 . A method for a soil improver, said method comprising:

a) mixing a microbial blend, wherein said microbial blend comprises:

at least one bacterium;

at least one non-mycorrhizae fungus;

at least one mycorrhizae.

b) mixing a nitrogen source, a surfactant, a multi-mineral to form a mixture.
