As Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, a bio-dynamic farmer who received the directions for this method of farming directly from Dr. Rudolph Steiner states in Chapter 13 of Bio-Dynamic Gardening and Farming Vol. 2:

“Two processes are significant on the path of life which leads to the formation of organic matter. One is the up building process which a11 matter undergoes when it is organized by the living bodies of plants, animals and man. The other is a breaking down which impairs and transforms “life” matter after it has been used up and fulfilled it’s task for the building up, growth and maintenance of the living organism.

In nourishment we have a special case, where outside matter (food) is broken down through digestive action and transformed into forms of matter to be used “inside” for the growth and maintenance of the body. This however is not a complete breaking down but fermentation. Fermentation is therefore a third process which stands in the middle between the building up and breaking down of organic matter as a kind of “mediator’’.

We must think of our soil as in a constant process of fermentation, continually transforming matter into nourishment for our living plants. To keep our soils in this mediating role requires certain numbers of beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Declines in these bacteria also mean a decline in nutrition for our plants. Bacteria counts have not yet become a part of routine soil analyses, but it is hoped that in the future such important contributions will not be overlooked.

Adding UltraGrowth to your soil creates a fertile ecosystem for these beneficial bacteria, thus creating a worm friendly environment as well as instigating the right type of fermentation whilst eliminating any putrefaction activity which hinders healthy plant life.

E. Pfelffer goes on, “This is the secret of composting methods: to introduce such conditions of life that no final decay or putrefaction can occur, but that the micro life of the soil resumes it’s activity, bringing about a complicated yet stable structure of organic matter. Humus is not so much a definite chemical formula but rather a state of existence of transformed organic matter in connection with soil, soil life, moisture and air. It is a balanced state of matter, almost a living organism or condition itself.”

To add fertilizer to your soil should really mean adding “soil food”. UltraGrowth is the medium that allows soil food to be produced through the microbial breaking down of organic matter as well as allowing for the proliferation of earthworms. UltraGrowth is an ecosystem balancing product providing plants and soil alike to have balanced micro and macro organisms that provide the nutritional benefits.
