Living Soil is a growing method centered on microbial life inside the soil.
These microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, protozoa and many other types) form a soil food web that help feed the plants, in exchange from carbons and sugars that the plant releases (extrudes) through their roots into the soil.
In this organic style of growing, the power is given back to the plants, who as living beings have evolved over time to learn to feed their own needs by finding what they require in the soil in which they live. It is this ecosystem in the soil and its relationship with the plant that we call living soil.
With the living soil growing method, we try to imitate nature and thus bring out the best potential of the plant.
Why living soil?
In Armadillo Botanics we are committed to growing alternatives that guarantee the highest quality of our plants. For this reason, we implement the living soil method, which allows us to take advantage of the power of the micro life of the soil so that the plant feeds on what it really needs and when it needs it.
This natural method allows us to maintain a sustainable system with minimum waste and maximum productivity and quality.
Healthier plants
Because they are grown without toxic or persistent pesticides or fertilizers.
Protect the planet
Cultivation in living organic soil generates carbon with less waste while keeping toxic pesticides and fertilizers out of the soil, our water and our bodies.
Save money
Living Soil allows the producer to reuse the soil for many years, saving money on labor, fertilizer and growing substrates.
Living soils consistently achieve higher yields and organic purity.
