Where to use Earth Medicine

  • A hose spraying water onto the ground with a blue sky and houses in the background.

    Hydroseeding

    Earth Medicine is an ideal biological additive for hydroseeding applications, functioning as a highly effective seed starter and soil activator. When blended into the hydroseeding slurry, its diverse microbial populations immediately colonize the soil, accelerating organic matter breakdown and improving nutrient availability at the seed-to-soil interface.

  • A large green and black machine labeled DryJet with an engine and various hydraulic components, used for golf course maintenance, on a grassy field with trees in the background.

    Dryject or Wetject

    Earth Medicine integrates seamlessly with DryJect® services to deliver beneficial biology directly into the root zone where it has the greatest impact. By injecting Earth Medicine into the soil profile, microbial populations are placed immediately adjacent to existing root structures, bypassing surface barriers such as compaction, thatch, and dry soil layers.

  • A lush vineyard on rolling hills under a partly cloudy sky

    Seed Starter

    Earth Medicine is an effective biological seed starter for farmers by placing beneficial microbes in direct contact with seed and emerging roots at planting. These microbes accelerate nutrient availability, support early root development, and improve soil structure during the critical establishment phase, resulting in faster, more uniform emergence and stronger seedlings.

  • Person pulling up a section of grass and soil with roots attached.

    Sod Pre-Plant

    Applying Earth Medicine prior to laying sod primes the soil with active biology, creating an immediate biological bridge between the native soil and the sod’s root mat. The beneficial microbes enhance nutrient availability, improve soil aggregation, and stimulate rapid root penetration into the underlying soil profile. In field applications, this approach has supported sod establishment within as little as seven days, with root growth extending to approximately six inches.

    Using a microbial product before installation accelerates knit-in, improves water and nutrient uptake, and results in stronger, more resilient turf compared to sod laid on biologically inactive soils.

  • A turf aerator machine on a golf course with a large pile of sand or soil in the hopper.

    Sand Top Dressing

    Earth Medicine can be effectively blended with sand and used as a biological topdressing to enhance soil performance on greens. When applied after aerification or verticutting, the sand blended with Earth Medicine moves beneficial microbes directly into open channels and surface voids, placing biology precisely where roots, thatch, and organic matter intersect.

    This improves nutrient cycling, supports thatch decomposition, and promotes stronger root development while maintaining proper surface firmness and playability. For routine greens topdressing, the addition of Earth Medicine helps build a more biologically active root zone, improving moisture management, stress tolerance, and overall turf health.

  • Soil Remediation

    Soil Remediation

    Earth Medicine is used in soil remediation to restore biological function in areas where soils have become inactive, hydrophobic, or incapable of supporting plant growth. By reintroducing diverse, beneficial microorganisms, Earth Medicine breaks down compacted organic residues, improves soil aggregation, and restores water infiltration in stubborn, dead patches. This biological activity rebalances nutrient cycling and reduces surface tension in hydrophobic soils, allowing moisture and roots to penetrate previously unresponsive areas.

    The result is amended soil that can once again support vegetation establishment, leading to renewed growth in areas that historically would not grow anything.

  • A backyard lawn with patchy grass, bordered by a white fence and a house with light blue siding.

    Fix Dog Urine Spots

    Earth Medicine can be an effective solution for repairing dead patches caused by dog urine. The high nitrogen content in urine often leads to soil imbalances, but Earth Medicine's microbial formula helps to restore soil health by breaking down the excess nitrogen and rebalancing the microbial community. With just one application, Earth Medicine can encourage healthy microbial activity, promote soil aeration, and stimulate new grass growth, quickly turning those unsightly dead patches into lush, green areas again.

  • Patchy grass with worn areas in a grassy field

    Chemical Dead Patches

    Earth Medicine is highly effective at restoring dead patches caused by chemical damage by rebuilding the soil biology that synthetic inputs often suppress or destroy. Its diverse microbial populations help neutralize chemical residues, rebalance nutrient availability, and repair soil structure, allowing roots to reestablish in areas where turf previously failed.

    By reactivating biological processes in the soil, Earth Medicine converts chemically damaged zones into functional, living soil, enabling consistent regrowth and long-term recovery rather than temporary cosmetic improvement.

    Fix Hydrophobic Turf

    Earth Medicine corrects hydrophobic soil by reintroducing active biology that restores natural soil structure and water movement. Beneficial microbes break down waxy residues and compacted organic layers that cause water repellency, while improving aggregation and pore space within the soil profile.

    As biological activity increases, water is able to infiltrate and distribute evenly through the root zone instead of running off or pooling on the surface. This results in improved moisture availability, deeper root growth, and the recovery of areas that previously resisted irrigation and plant establishment.
