What Makes These Microbes Different?

1. Formulation:

Wind River microbes are NOT derived from lactating dairy cow manure like the other guys. That does not control for variability in species. Wind River formulas are assembled in a kitchen, much like a cake recipe, using specific microorganisms for specific tasks within the microbiome.

2. Indigenous Microbes:

Wind River formulations have specific species of bacteria that are used for Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT). This process enables Wind River Microbes to adapt to soils worldwide, and work in conjunction with indigenous microbes to effectively balance the indigenous microbiome.

3. Stability:

Wind River Microbes are completely stable due to the manufacturing process.

4. Temperature:

Wind River formulas need no refrigeration for storage. Just keep them out of direct sunlight to keep the dormant microbes alive.

5. Shelf-Life:

The other bug-in-a-jug companies only have a viable shelf life of 3-12 months (even with their refrigeration requirements). Wind River Microbes have remained shelf stable and effective after 12 years of storage. Even after all that time, the solution only lost 2.4% viability!

6. Feeding:

Other companies formulas require "feeding" maintenance to keep the microbes alive. These require no maintenance of the like. Wind River microbes are induced into dormancy before bottling, only waking up once in contact with food sources in the growing mediums.

7. Tank-Mixing:

Other companies formulas are not stable enough to tank-mix with fertilizers or chemicals. Wind River microbes can safely be tank mixed as long as the mix is sprayed in less than 72 hours. Fungicides are the only chemical that should not be used with Wind River formulas. *You shouldn't be using those anyway!*

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Bio Soil?

Refer to the general application chart above. For specific scenarios or questions, reach out to us at rootscause@proton.me for an application consultation (for free of course).

Is Bio Soil all natural? Certified Organic?

Bio Soil is formulated with all naturally occurring microbes, no synthetics or GMOs in the bunch.
Bio Soil is an organic formula being used by certified organic operations across the USA. To have the OMRI certification for the bottle would require Wind River to hand over their proprietary formula to the organization, which they are not going to do. However, if you are a Certified Organic Operation we can very very simply get this approved with your assigned beuracrat. Just email us at rootscause@proton.me to request it.

How much reduction in fertilizer and other inputs should I expect in my first year?

30-50% reduction of inputs depending on what you are using to add nutrients to your soil.

These microbes will not work as well as my native microbes though will they?

Wind River has selected microbes in their formula that utilize Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT). In simple terms this means that once you use Bio Soil, the native microbes in your soil will be multiplied heavily.

Will this work with my soil? I live in an area with *insert special soil deficiency from anywhere across the planet*.

YES! While the different soil types all present their own unique advantages and challenges they all require microbial biology to grow healthy plants.

How Do I Store This?

Just keep it in an environment where it will not freeze or boil. The shelf life is extremely long on Wind River products.

I am already in year ten of my regenerative agricultural journey. Where does this fit into my operation?

The largest benefit you will see is on new land that you have just started managing within the first three years.
One of the many unfair advantages with regen practices is it's ability to grow biology on a compounding basis. We suggest you kickstart this compounding in the first few years of using your management on new land. Think of compounding interest on an investment. Look at those earning tables and see the difference in 5, 10, and 20 years that three years makes to its growth!
