ProGanics vs Compost and Topsoil

Topsoil and bulk soil amendments (such as compost) are frequently specified and utilized on earth-moving projects, with little consideration given to material availability, consistency, possibility of contamination, installation cost, or the ability of the material to support vegetation long-term. Additionally, these materials are habitually specified to arbitrary depths with little scientific evidence or reasoning supporting the application. The use of these allegedly essential materials often leaves the site with varied and even inadequate vegetative results long after the exorbitant costs to purchase, deliver and apply them has been incurred.

Patent-pending ProGanics™ Biotic Soil Media™ (BSM™) has been designed as a topsoil and compost alternative that accelerates the development of depleted soils/substrates with low organic matter, low nutrient levels and limited biological activity. ProGanics is not a direct replacement for expensive topsoil, but provides an abundant source of organic matter and soil building components to quickly modify soil chemistry, initiate vegetative growth and buildup of the uppermost “O” and “A” soil horizons. See how ProGanics BSM is able to sustain vegetation on deficient soils in the “ProGanics Biotic Soil Media Video - Ignite the Nutrient Cycling Process”:
