Scientists and researchers are consistently discovering extraordinary, new benefits of adding PermaMatrix to the soil! Most recently, PermaMatrix has been shown to not only significantly reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, but also dramatically aid in the reduction of various other green house gases. By mimicking the perfect wisdom found in nature, the benefits of PermaMatrix are astounding! Reversing the effects of the Earth’s toxified soils is beneficially limitless. We are thankful to have found this golden key hidden in nature that essentially unlocks and reverses the soil contamination practices of the past century.

PermaMatrix™ primes the natural ecosystem using a process designed to mimic relationships found in native ecologies. Results surpass traditional topsoil-seeding-fertilizing efforts.

PermaMatrix™ is a blend of pure organics and recycled materials for use in all created wetlands and biofiltration swales to improve the performance of the native plant communities without fear of contamination of sensitive waterways!

PermaMatrix™ stems from two words- permaculture and matrix. Permaculture, or permanent agriculture, is an approach to designing perennial agricultural systems that mimic the relationships found in natural ecologies.  Matrix, a group of things that create another, refers to a biological material where specialized structures are formed or embedded.  Today there is a belief that humans must give plants nutrients for them to prosper. In reality, plants are designed to feed themselves through the recycling of their own biomass. With the optimum rhizosphere no artificial fertilization is necessary.

PermaMatrix™ Biotic Soil Amendment
Combines carbon based fiber, superior organics, micro-organisms, beneficial fungi, water holding materials, and many other soil-like components together to create a growing medium that is not only optimal for plant growth but creates a permanent and healthy growing environment for plants. It is also excellent for poor soils that need an organic additive and for slopes and channels where you need to dramatically boost the organic content of your subsoil.

How Does PermaMatrix ™ Work?

Soil scientists and microbiologists have discovered that a community of bacteria, fungi and microbes (EcoLive™/EcoBiotics™) exists in symbiosis with the root hairs of plants. This bio community thrives in the presence of BioChar (EcoChar™), charcoal created by pyrolysis of biomass, organic material  sedge and rush peat, and a fiber source shredded grass straw and hessian/jute fiber. The bacteria produce enzymes that act on the EcoChar™ to release its mineral ions making it available to the root hairs of the plant as nutrients. EcoChar™ provides a host for micro-organisms, tiny pores that may serve as physical “shelters” for mycorrhizal hyphae and various symbiotic bacteria, protecting them from microbial predators and hazards.  Coupled with the natural fiber carbon source and the organic food source an ideal environment is created in which microbes flourish resulting in the development of a healthy plant community. Healthy plants in return secrete additional nourishment for the bacteria during decomposition resulting in a fully sustainable organic process.

Resins within EcoChar™ serve as an ionic exchange media absorbing traces of mineral ions onto the particle surfaces from both the surrounding soils and rain water. EcoChar™ particles then trap and hold the minerals within the charcoal’s molecular structure where it is held until the soil bacteria associated with a root hair of plants secretes the enzymes necessary for it to be released once again. The increased absorption and retention of water through organic absorbents, silicate and milled volcanic rock provides additional hydration to stimulate the ion exchange necessary for increased microbial development. Trace minerals present in rainwater therefore can enhance nutrient availability needed by the crops year after year. Nutrient recycling happens naturally in healthy vegetated systems, but when sites have been disturbed these natural processes are depleted.  PermaMatrix ™ address this issue and replaces the components needed to reestablish the biological function of disturbed sites.

PermaMatrix ™ is a new way of thinking, developing the optimum rhizosphere for plant growth using mother natures components.  It performs a superior function to typical compost/topsoil installations as it does not require the traditional volume based application.  PermaMatrix ™ application rates are based on the correct microbial and mychorrhizae counts, along with the organic carbon based components that will reestablish the natural biological function of a disturbed site.
