BIO TECH REVOLUTION

Organics Alive® solution is not a new concept. Recent Innovations in bio-tech and Vermiculture have greatly improved the understanding and the use of this bio-technology.

Organics Alive® has developed a proprietary feed for Eisenia Fotida earthworms also called red wigglers. This feed excludes any animal waste, which usually contains pathogenic organisms; it also excludes landscape trimmings which may contain pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. The feed mix greatly enhances the biology of the worm casting created by the digestion of the red wiggler

The next step is to extract the biology from the worm casting. With 10 years of diligent research,
Organics Alive® has developed an exact feed mix containing specific and precisely measured sugars and carbohydrates. This feed mix is very critical. If too many sugars are provided the bacterial organisms will grow and overwhelm the needed fungal. The balance of bacterial and fungal is very important to create a symbiotic relationship with the plant. The feed mix also takes into account the growth of recyclers such as amoebas, ciliates, flagellates, beneficial nematodes. The proper mix of sugars and carbohydrates must have fungal attachment sites to develop beneficial communities of fungal. This is no longer just a tea, and by no means is this compost tea.

The mix is then cultured and extracted aerobically. This process must be done in water that is low in salts and chlorine. Chlorine is used to stop biological growth in the city water and pools. If chlorine is evident, then growth is slowed or stopped. The salts should be less than 50 ppm and the chlorine less than 10 ppm. The best results originate from using reverse osmosis treated water for the extraction process.

These organisms must then be aerobically brewed for 24 hours in an environment where the dissolved oxygen level is maintained above 6 ppm during the whole extraction process. The temperature of the water must be maintained from 60-85F. This material can now accurately be called Biologically Active Microbial-rich Solution.

This process, if done correctly, will multiply the organisms in the range of 9 billion times (9 x 109) resulting in one gallon having the same biology as 2,000 pounds of quality Organics Alive® earthworm castings.


One aspect must be realized when using biologically active microbial-rich solution. Once the beneficial biology has been activated and multiplied it does not stop growing at the end of the brew cycle. When placed in a bottle the biology continues to grow and feed off the provided oxygen. Once the bottled oxygen has depleted the organisms begin to starve and die. This liquid must be placed in a reservoir or in soil 8-10 hours after brewing process has stopped. The best viability comes when the solution is used directly after decanting the extractor. Refrigeration at 40F will slow the rapid growth of the biology, extending the shelf life to 5 days.

The quality of solution can be determined by a biological test. These tests are not the tests used to provide typical soils reports.

The bacterial levels should be: 10-150 micro-gram/milliliter (mg/ml) Active and 150-300+ mg/ml Total.

The fungal levels need to be: 2-10 mg/ml Active and 2-20+ mg/ml Total.

There must be a balance of both bacterial and fungal. Bacterial organisms are easy to grow and can overwhelm the fungal if the feed mix is not properly controlled.

The hyphal diameter of the fungi needs to be 2.5+ micrometers.

The protozoa should show flagellates in the range of 1,000 /ml, amoebae at 1,000/ml, and ciliates at 20-50/ml. The beneficial nematodes should range at 2-10/ml.

The chitin degraders and cellulose degraders should both be above 100 million cfu/dwg. The protozoa and nematodes are the large sized recyclers. The chitin degraders and cellulose degraders are small sized but very active recyclers. These make the nutrients from the bacterial and fungal biology available for the plants. If the test numbers do not show values in these ranges, assume the material is not optimal.

The advanced vermiculture process and the unique proprietary diet significantly increases the biological concentration of chitinase and cellulase producing organisms in Organics Alive® earthworm castings. Eisenia foetida earthworms that are fed with animal manures carry chitinase producing organisms at a level of 2-3 million cfu/dwg (colony forming units/dry weight grams). Organics Alives®' innovative vermiculture process creates the chitinase producing organisms at a consistent level over 200 million cfu/dwg (colony forming units/dry weight grams), and cellulase producing organisms at a consistent level over 400 million cfu/dwg. These biological levels are imperative for optimal health and significant growth.
