Step 01

Soil Sanctuary (SS)

Pulverized, charged biochar that creates long-term micro-homes for biology. Improves structure, water-holding, and nutrient retention.

Step 02

Earth's Embrace (EE)

A balanced inoculum from composting and vermicomposting. Adds bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and beneficial nematodes to jumpstart cycling.

Step 03

Green Guardian (GG)

A custom mix of fish hydrolysate, kelp extract and more. Feeds microbes and signals roots to release exudates. Note: has a strong natural smell.

Application 1

SS + EE + GG

Target: Soil around plants

Covers: up to 400 sq ft

You’ll spray: two tanks from a 0.5-gal (2 L) sprayer

Fill a clean bucket with 1 gallon of water.

Add:

  • Soil Sanctuary: 6 oz (full bottle)

  • Earth’s Embrace: 2 cups into the mesh bag. Dunk, massage, and squeeze for ~30 sec. Afterward, empty spent EE into topsoil and clean the bag.

  • Mix in Green Guardian: 0.5 oz

  • Let sediment settle.

  • Funnel water into srayer tanks or a watering can.

  • Drench the soil around plants evenly. Do not flood.

    Pro tip: To avoid clogs do not pour the last cup into the sprayer. Pour it directly on soil.

Applications 2-8

EE + GG

Target: Leaves and stems
Covers: up to 400 sq ft
You’ll spray: two tanks from a 0.5-gal (2 L) sprayer

Fill a clean bucket with 1 gallon of water.

Add:

  • Earth’s Embrace: 2 cups in mesh bag. Dunk, massage, squeeze ~30 sec. Then add spent EE to topsoil and clean the bag.

  • Green Guardian: 0.5 oz

  • Let sediment settle

  • Funnel into sprayer (try to avoid pouring in the sediment in your mixing bucket).

  • Spray to ~70% leaf coverage. Best in early morning or evening to avoid sun burn.

    Pro tip: Don't foliar sprayer directly on flowers you want pollinated (vegitation is fine) if you are concerned. Avoid spraying during strong sun or heat.

Mixing & Timing

  • To avoid biology going anerobic, mix fresh every time. Do not store your mix.

  • Apply every 2–4 weeks.

  • Spray early morning or late afternoon. Avoid direct sun or heat above 85°F.

  • Use sprayers or watering cans that have never contained chemicals.

  • Rinse the mesh bag after use. Use the drenched Earth's Embrace directly into your soil.

  • The last cup of liquid has sediment. Do not pour it into your sprayer. Pour it onto soil instead.

  • One full application covers up to 400 sq ft.

Simple Indoor Use

  • For tents and containers, start light:

  • Mix at 1/16 of outdoor strength.

  • Use soil drench on transplant day, then every 14 days.

  • Green Guardian has a strong odor. Use as a soil drench indoors. Foliar only if ventilation and filtration are strong.

  • Stop foliar by early flower.

Using Fertilizers

Skip synthetics. They disrupt the biology you are building. If you use organic fertilizers, start at half the label rate to avoid overload. Over time the soil food web can reduce the need for added fertilizer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Clean Equipment After Each Use

Immediate cleaning of equipment after use is vital to prevent the formation of biofilm

Biofilm is not only difficult to remove but can also harbor non-beneficial microbes that might be introduced to your garden. By cleaning your equipment right after use, you ensure that your next application is as effective as the first, maintaining the health of your garden’s ecosystem.

For those dedicated to maintaining their gardening equipment in peak condition, consider an end-of-season deep clean. Running a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water through your spray equipment, followed by a soaking period of 24-48 hours, can effectively sanitize and prepare your tools for their next use. This proactive step ensures that your equipment is free from any lingering organic material or pathogens, setting a clean slate for the upcoming gardening season.
