GreenGro's products feed the microbes in your soil making it possible for them to become colonies of chelating machines. GreenGro's water conditioner will eliminate Chlorine, chloramine and other harmful chemicals eliminating the need for expensive water filters while keeping your microbes healthy.
GreenGro Earth Shine is biochar. Biochar is the latest advancement in organic gardening. Think of a forest after a fire, it grows anew if not stronger. The nearly burnt or chard material cleans the soil, feeds the microbes in your soil and thus increases organic nutrient availability to the plant.

Nothing like a freshly brewed tea on a summer day. Your garden plants would like a freshly brewed tea as well. There are many benefits to using compost teas. Teas will increase microbial life in your soil, improve nutrient uptake and supply amino acids naturally just to name a few. Compost teas can be simple to brew with very few ingredients and still work really well. I will give you some easy to follow instructions on how to make your own brewer as well as a recipe to brew. Different plants like different microbial based teas. Vegetables and flowers like balanced to highly bacterial based teas respectively. Don't worry if you don't know what your microbes are, mother nature is quite forgiving and the wrong microorganisms will not harm your plants you will most likely not get the results you would if you had the proper microbes. The process of brewing compost tea can be quite easy. Simple recipes, simple procedure, fairly quick results and plenty of room for error. so why aren't you doing it already? You may ask yourself the same thing after you brew your first batch. Build your brewer Bucket
Air Stone
Air Tubing
Air Pump
Filter Bag
Connect the air stone to one end of the tubing and the pump to the other end. Put the air stone in the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket (keep the air pump above the level of the water in the bucket at all times). Fill the filter bag with the ingredients for your favorite tea. Plug the pump into an electrical outlet and let it brew for 24 to 48 hours. Temperature is important, try to keep your temps between 68 to 74 degrees for optimal microbe activity.
Now you are ready to brew, but are you ready to brew like a pro? Not unless you by passed the building of a bucket brewer and purchased a professional Twist One Brewer , exclusively from Horizen Hydroponics. This Brewer will breathe life into your tea and your soil!
