Most Traditional Chemical fertilizers lack carbon, while containing higher levels of nitrogen than plants can process at application time, which leads to waste. And the carbon in animal-based products in not only accompanied by too many salts and heavy metals, it’s also not in the form of carbon chain sugars for maximum benefit. Live Earth products introduce a high-energy, carbon food source into plants, turf and soil that balances nitrogen levels, for efficient uptake of already-present nitrogen.

Live Earth provides an organic mixture only found in completely decomposed, ancient plant life. While other products’ sources are usually not entirely broken down, rendering them largely ineffective, Live Earth products contain only the purest plant matter such as humus, nutrients, enzymes, minerals, natural surfactants, bio-stimulants, and fulvic, ulmic and amino acids. Our competitors offer fertilizers high in animal protein, or sometimes no protein at all, which may take years to break down; Live Earth products are rich in everything you need, ready to go now.

Many competitors’ products don’t contain humates, and nowhere will you find a purer source of high-grade humates than Live Earth. We use highly effective extraction methods to go after only the most mature and beneficial humates.

Healthy microorganisms are essential to plant growth. Unlike many of our competitors’ products, such as chemical-and manure-based fertilizers, Live Earth leaves out the high levels of salts and heavy metals. As a result, the microorganism population in the soil is allowed to thrive while effectively processing the soil to make nutrients more available to root systems. The benefit to you? Plants that are more stress-tolerant, respond to significantly lower levels of N-P-K fertilizers, and therefore cost much less to maintain.

In contrast to traditional fertilizers, which contain EDTA or citrric acids or no chelating agents at all, Live Earth products are rich in fulvic acid. This allows plants to easily assimilate those nutrients that are being introduced, as well as those already in the soil. The energy saved in this process is then redirected to enhanced growth, and production of proteins and carbohydrates.
