Helping Victory Farms Grow

LivingSoils is providing weekly bulk batches of actively aerated compost tea to Victory Farms, Richmond's most productive all-organic CSA. Charlie, Victory's farmer, started out applying LivingSoils as a soil drench and as foliar sprays to onion beds, noticed quick responses in growth and decreaseed pests, and is now expanding to other crops, as well as seedlings and transplants. LivingSoils and Victory Farms are collaborating to feed the soil that feeds your food. Come by either booth and see for yourself.

Thank you Returning Customers!

Even more returning LivingSoils users this week, and again, thanks to everyone for coming by, whether to feel and sniff our tea mix, to ask questions, chat and/or restock on fresh, living, compost tea. Many supporters are using LivingSoils tea on new garden beds and on transplants. Indeed these are great opportunities for compost tea to rapidly establish or restore a healthy soil food web.
