Organic vs. Synthetic At Key To Life, we want to reduce the amount of synthetic media being put in the Earth at the end of each growth cycle or during growth. Humans must step away from using synthetic fertilizers. They are killing us and, more importantly, killing the planet that gave birth to us. Organically, we can keep customers happy by reducing the amount of time spent and money coming out of their wallets in order to achieve the best results! We also want to encourage soil recycling because when growing truly organic you are revitalizing the soil of Mother Nature. When we reuse organic soil it is only becoming more alive and better for growing! Organic Gardening- When growing organically, you are breaking down foods naturally for your plants just like in the human body. Beneficial bacteria and fungi, as well as other organisms called rhizoids, are responsible for increasing symbiosis of a plant and its root system. If the plant dies the organisms die, and vice versa. Both are interested in each other’s well being. When the plant has correct biodiversity and symbiosis in the soil/medium, it has the correct foods and ph ranges available to the plant that it requires at any moment. The bacteria that coat the root process foods from the soil to make it readily available for the plant. This allows your plant to have access to the exact food it needs at the exact ph range it wants when it needs it. This creates healthier microbes and healthier plants. Just like the human body, when this is done in the right way, less energy is needed be put toward supporting the immune system and more energy can go toward growth, essential oils and yield. You can actually supplement 40-60% more energy for your plant to put toward yield when root systems and microbes are in balance. Happy plant roots also give food back to these microorganisms, thus creating a circle of life. Any waste created in this process breaks down naturally and goes back into the soil without any pollutants. When using compost teas in soil, you are actually giving the soil better structure, an active soil food web, and rhizosphere. Growing the way Mother Nature intended. Allowing your plant to make its own decisions, eat what it wants and grow the way it wants, therefore expressing true DNA genetic potential! Synthetic Gardening- When growing synthetically, one must be far more specific. Synthetic fertilizers skip all microbial balance and provide the plant with the chemical version of the bacterial benefits. These chemicals coat the root and force-feed the plant that set of fertilizers at that particular ph range. This may sound like less work and less chance to mess things up but when it is done this way your plant only has access to one set of nutrients at one ph range. The plant in this case cannot take what it wants when it needs it. This would be equal to eating the same fast food every day for your entire life. The excess chemicals that the plant cannot use or eat do not breakdown naturally and end up going into the ground, water supply, and environment as a pollutant. This can cause toxic buildup of chemicals in our atmosphere and can lead to a multitude of environmental and health problems. We highly recommend being ‘green’ and paying attention to every aspect of our carbon footprint. This is why we feel it is time to educate everyone about organics and energy efficiency. This will allow you to stretch your dollar while reducing your carbon footprint. Earth is the root of human civilization! Just like microbes and plants, we need to work in symbiosis with the planet, not against it. We need to start being conscious of what we use to grow our crops, that in turn, grow ourselves. Mother Nature is calling for us to start paying attention to what we dump onto her! Our customers can be part of the solution, not the problem. Using compost teas is one of the best ways to rebuild our soils. If we don’t take care of our planet, we will find ourselves in an Easter Island situation by using up and/or eliminating our natural resources. Grow the way Mother Nature wants us to, with microbes & earthly elements. Mother Nature knows how to garden better than any scientist on the planet, guaranteed! We feel that good practices can make a good planet. Lets work with Mother Nature and realize that it is an amazing world and how much more amazing it would be if we all teamed up and took some initiative!
