Description
Red’s is a bio-based container media designed to embody the best traits of a living soil with the benefits of a balanced soil food web. We build this soil-mix to suit professional operations, which require efficiency and ease-of-use combined with quality – which means a quality crop for the grower. Red’s mix is alive. It’s packed with vegetation-based compost and worm castings, creating rich environment of beneficial bacteria. Combined with biochar and natural mineral sources, this rich ecosystem is nested in a matrix of components that optimizes aeration, porosity and drainage, so the soil gets the water it needs while maintaining aeration. The result is good for the soil microbes and GREAT for the plants. No animal or human manures in our products! Biochar provides several benefits to the soil food web, while increasing water-holding capacity, decreasing bulk density, buffering pH, moderating nutrient release and more – for decades. High-quality compost adds a microbial environment rich with humic acids, which are the chemical compounds making up humus and related compounds humates – the defining material of compost.
