Co-founders Mark and Laurie Mann have been on this journey to find ways to improve soil health for decades. Their scientific backgrounds make them experts on soil health, tree care, crop health, and soil chemistry and biology.

Discover the Journey That Built Our Story

It started with two people who believed soil could be better. Mark, an agronomist and arborist, and Laurie, a chemist and biologist, spent years watching farmers struggle with depleted land and rising costs. We knew there had to be a way to help soil work harder and last longer. That’s when we discovered biochar.

What began as testing and tinkering in the field grew into something real. We spread the word to growers who needed it most. From there, word traveled. Farmers and gardeners started seeing results—healthier plants, better yields, soil that held up season after season. We partnered with distributors who understood the land as well as we did, and together we’ve helped growers across the country build soil that delivers.

Since day one, we’ve worked tirelessly to make farming and gardening easier, more profitable, and built to last.

Our Commitment is to the Soil

Whether you’re tending a backyard garden, managing turf, caring for trees, or growing cannabis, success starts with your soil. Our biochar blends give you the power to thrive through drought, cut input costs, and grow beauty and abundance.

Carbon in Your Landscape

We offer VITAL Blend soil amendment (in granular and liquid form) and activated BioChar and Humates individually. For our VITAL Blend, we generously charge the biochar with the Humate to create an exceptional soil amendment that improves even the most impoverished soils.

Our flagship product, VITAL Blend is perfect by itself or used as a foundation for mixing with other products to improve plant growth. It is easy to apply, and applicators can use 40-60% less than other soil amendment products, saving time, effort, and money.

VITAL Blend offers a unique combination of Active and Fixed Carbon that plays a crucial role in enhancing soil health and fertility. Active Carbon, more readily available to microorganisms, serves as a food source for beneficial soil bacteria and fungi.

This dynamic component of VITAL Blend fosters a thriving soil biology, which is essential for nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. As these microorganisms break down organic materials, they release nutrients that are vital for plant growth. Additionally, Active Carbon helps improve soil aeration and water retention, creating an ideal environment for root development.

On the other hand, Fixed Carbon works to build long-term soil structure and stability. It contributes to the formation of aggregates, which enhances soil porosity and promotes better drainage. This is particularly beneficial in preventing soil compaction and erosion, allowing roots to penetrate deeper and access essential nutrients and moisture.

By incorporating both Active and Fixed Carbon into the soil, VITAL Blend not only improves its overall structure but also creates a balanced ecosystem that supports robust plant growth. Ultimately, this dual approach leads to healthier plants, increased yields, and more resilient agricultural systems. making VITAL Blend an invaluable addition to any soil management strategy.
Fixed Carbon in your soil gives a home to beneficial microbes and improves the nutrient cycling so your plants thrive even through adverse weather. The soil keeps getting better every year.
Biochar is an important addition to any soil, most soils in the world are degraded and the addition of our biochar blends adds both fixed and active carbon to speed up nutrient cycling by giving beneficial microorganisms habitat.
We go the extra mile to make sure you and your family are healthy, and your landscape or farm is achieving its highest potential.
